Living Angel

Her eyes spoke of love beyond any comparison. Simple glances she could speak volumes of words. No language spoken by voice though much power, Intently she was observant to her surroundings. Graciously she painted concern with attitude. Sometimes so sternly advocating her desires, Strong and dainty from her facial expressions, Strong and firm her deliverance was given. Protector of family for eighteen years she gave. Her mind was efficient and carried life high. Not a companion a family member so dear, She witnessed illness, took action quickly. Strong mind but weakened body, driving forward, Asking in her gaze, she told of needs and desires. Her name, Heidi, a game she played when young. Carrying it forward to daily actions she had won. Hiding her eyes from anyone, no one could see. Upon her face as she gazed back, unhidden now, Was a glory and loving smile, with sparkling eyes. She shall be remembered with such affection true. Lost we are now without her presence each moment, Quietness passes our days and nights without her walk. No “Tick Tick Tack“as her paws use to tap the floor. Missing her yawn upon her first wakeup each day, Her presence no more still reminded by our hearts. Her spotted coat remembered by all our surroundings. Dalmatian by breed, Living Angel, now Angel in Heaven, Upon a future time, we’ll be reunited, with a living Angel. Written in Memory, for much more than a dog, She was a daughter, a sister, a granddaughter, protector, friend, buddy, pal, neighborhood watcher, along with so much more.

She must have been very precious to you to inspire such a poem, Cecil. It's always sad to lose these special companions who never lose their love for us. We could learn a lot from the devotion animals show their owners. Enjoyed your poem, dear friend. Love, Carolyn

Dogs really are far more than pets. They protect us, give us love and bring happiness to our hearts. I'm sorry you had to lose Heidi and hope there is room for dogs in heaven. Best to you, Diane
