Shiloh ...

Her leash and frisbee Sit high on a shelf, waiting But no one is coming... The park down on the corner Looks abandoned and lonely Yet, there is a place Where the sweetest golden girl (Shiloh was her name) Tail wagging,...... happily plays Unleashed....while chasing rainbows! ........................................................ For Constance's Pets in Heaven contest

Hi Carrie!... your poem broke me up.... and helped me remember the last days with my dear Golden... Babe Ruth... your question about my dialect, do I still hear it? heck yea! I use it! mostly as a term of endearment when I'm talking to my regular catering clients...expresses a familial touch... like.... they will thank me for helping them order the right mix and amount of food, I'll say "you betcha!"
