Poem
Bill Bulldog we had named him 
with his brindle coloured coat
He had the most amazing face
too many wrinkles for one so young
mischievous, cuddly and full of fun

At first the only sounds he made
that first night all alone
heartbreaking cries 
he missed his Mum
He’ll settle soon in his new home

That wonderful scent of puppy
Reminiscent of a newborn babe
His coat so soft just newly grown 
I watched in wonder as he slept 
A Mum in love with her new pet

His face so handsome like no other
a face that could only be loved by his Mother
so many expressions you would not believe
defiant, pathetic, look at me, can we play
melting my heart each and every day

He always knew when I was down
his insight was spot on
Sitting close, head on my knees
so full of sensitivity
Sending his love into my soul
I slowly emerged from the deepest hole

The traits of a Bulldog are fairly surprising
when you first take a look at his face
So don’t be alarmed even though he looks fierce
as a bad bone would be, so very hard to trace

Only sweetness and light
for my Bill would not bite
though he’d lick you to death that’s for sure
Even welcome a stranger into his domain
but would want him to stay there forevermore

For a Bulldog really loves company 
he hates to be alone
but once you are there
he will climb on your chair 
licking your face as he welcomes you home

These words they describe him right down to a tee
gentle - loves children - snores loudly like me
can be stubborn, aloof and suffers from flatulence
Some foods requiring total abstinence

My darling British Bulldog Bill
such happy times together 
such funny little ways you had
remembering them forever

A ritual witnessed every morn
on waking at the crack of dawn
Rolling over on his back
his four legs held aloft
Bill gently rocked from side to side
as if to say, ‘I’m still alive’
Though sadly now he’s not...

Written 2018 in memory of our darling Bill Bulldog
