Poem
My little running buddy, my best furry friend You came into my life As a white bundle of goofy bichon Dressed up as a terrier. You terrorized our Princess Xena, And, as a crazy Hallowe’en pup, Climbed up onto the table To lick clean butter and sugar bowls And back down again to chew the table legs! You chased the beach birds in Tofino And Phyllis’ cat in New Brunswick. Oh, you were so full of mischief But the aroma of fresh bought roast chicken did not entice you As you were perched up on the back headrest Anxiously awaiting our return! Always a crazy ball of energy. Let’s see if she’ll run, I said, And there you were at my heels Or up ahead looking back to see if we were coming. Up and over the hilly trails Or miles of dike along the river. Year after year, all kinds of weather, A different colourful coat for every occasion. The many road trips, sleeping quietly on my lap Or going for a ride on two wheels With the best seat in the house, wearing your doggles! My motorcycle pup, running buddy, cycling sightseer, At home wherever you were with me, Whether it be on the top of Mt Seymour Or the back of the Chief, the alpine meadows of Baker Or the Pacific Coast Highway! Unconditional love, always a kiss Oh, what we humans could learn from our 4 legged friends! Always there for me, to kiss away the pain Of my broken hearted wounds Through the emotional hills and valleys of my life journey You were my best furry friend for 18 years, 8 months. A little trooper with a large heart right until the end. An incredibly long life, always willing without fail, Loving and faithful to the end of your days, You looked into my eyes and kissed me goodbye. Your little body gave up but your brave heart beat on, so strong As your life ended so softly and gently. Chloe, my best furry friend, my little running buddy...... I will miss you so, your little dance, your kisses, Your greeting at the door, all but memories now & forever.
