An Ode To Frankie

You’re never alone when you give a dog a home, they bring you love and companionship in a beautiful never ending friendship. Quote- Poets own
An Ode to Frankie
Frankie is tremendous, long may he roam A charming doggie with a friendly soul He brings endless joy to our lives and home Splendid as gold, many hearts he has stole Loves his owner, clear to ascertain that There could not have been a finer pairing Frankie melts one's heart with his huge brown eyes How he loves a lap on which to be sat Content to be in the lodge we're sharing It’s no surprise he has us mesmerised. He has you completely under his spell Dogs adore fuss, we realise that’s true When one is not well our Frankie can tell Frankie will come and sit right beside you Lights up the lodge does our dear four legged chum With Frankie around there's never a frown Since he trotted in our lives are enriched For him hearts beat alike a frenzied drum Puts smiles on our faces when we feel down Frankie is adored, he has us bewitched. Just one look from those eyes and we're smitten He melts our hearts alike pure molten gold In poetry and stars it is written His glory a story meant to be told A treasure, a pleasure beyond measure Paw prints on hearts for sure he will create With the magic of his charm we are blessed How he loves it when we’re all together That is when his tail will shake to relate Frankly our Frankie is simply the best.

Best wishes in the contest. I can relate to this because after the broken leg—-was at my daughters for two months. Her dog was forever in my bedroom there. It was hard to leave him behind and come home. I still miss him..his joviality. His body next to mine. Thanks Belle. Hugs, Panagiota xxx

Thank you Pangie, dogs are wonderful companions and they know when one is not well. When my hubby came home from hospital and Frankie’s owner brought him to see Alan the dog ran straight up to him and got in the chair beside him, after three months in hospital Frankie remembered him, it was a special moment.

Thank you Sam, Frankie certainly does install joy, he’s simply delightful. Things are settling down now that my husband is slowly recovering and it’s good to be back in the soup though not as much as once was due to the circumstances. Blessings to you too… Belle

Thank you so much Paula, I would write more if I could, sadly I’ve been busy looking after my husband after his serious illness with sepsis. Things are slowly getting better now thankfully. You keep writing away with your wonderful poetry too. Bless you, Belle

I have never in my life been without the companionship of a dog and can't think how I could live without one. Recently about a year ago my little Jewel, a Chihuahua had a heart attack while I was at work. I came home and my husband told me she was gone. I mourned for a year and then we adopted Duke. Half Pug and half Chihuahua and 100% love. We adore him and he loves us right back. Great little tribute to doggies everywhere. God Bless, JB

Thank you Judy. I’m so sorry to read of the loss of your Chihuahua from a heart attack, can’t imagine the shock or the grief. Pleased that you now have Duke to love and to receive his love in return. God bless you too… Belle
