I am a dog lover and when I lost mine it was a very sad day. I did not realize how much I talked to her after the boys left home. She was there with me all the time and touched our home deeply. God Bless Phyl

My mom just lost her little dog so this touched home. It's very sweet. Thank you.

Michael, Your poem not only conveys the great love you enjoyed with your wife but how precious animals have the ability to help us heal with just their loving presence. Lovely poem!
