What Will I Do Without Kayley

What Will I Do Without Kayley There were raindrops like big tears; Some day will think of all the years Without my dog, I now have been And gladly would do it over again. Why doesn't life ever seem fair As I see Kayley walk up each stair; Loved to play and roll in the dirt; Not even a flea would he ever hurt. My dog eventually will have to die And as all my tears I start to dry To a close, his curtain was drawn; Kayley world is where he has gone. The Death of a pet is hard to endure And agree with me, I know for sure; Even worse is telling your child why His pet he loved so much had to die.

How many years did he keep track of you? ... Well, it matters not for one hundred years or more wouldn't have been long enough because you love him, still

It was a 14 year old Irish Setter of my Son Shawn's. Great dog and a real tail wager/
