Canine Demise

Love lies languishing In a state of remorse Attention is given As death takes its course Tears drain the eyes At the sight of my friend My heart is breaking While watching the end A shroud of sadness Blankets my soul Knowing that soon I'll be digging a hole Memories of past Are sadly recalled The way that he'd run And chase for his ball A tail that would curl And happily wag Now lies dormant With sad eyes that sag The vet can do nothing As age takes its toll Just give him comfort Is what I am told So he sleeps at my feet My consumate friend I'll love him forever Even after the end Rockman His name is Cow. I let him out a little while ago but I don't know if he'll be coming back in. :-( 1:20 am 6/23/2011 Update: I carried him in at 2:50 am. He died at 3:01 am. I burried him in the early morning light of the 23rd. Goodbye my friend. He actually died from the Parvo virus. It's a quick killer and nothing can be done when they get it. Get your pets vaccinated and keep up with them. The book is closed.
