Canine Demise
Love lies languishing
In a state of remorse
Attention is given
As death takes its course
Tears drain the eyes
At the sight of my friend
My heart is breaking
While watching the end
A shroud of sadness
Blankets my soul
Knowing that soon
I'll be digging a hole
Memories of past
Are sadly recalled
The way that he'd run
And chase for his ball
A tail that would curl
And happily wag
Now lies dormant
With sad eyes that sag
The vet can do nothing
As age takes its toll
Just give him comfort
Is what I am told
So he sleeps at my feet
My consumate friend
I'll love him forever
Even after the end

His name is Cow. I let him out a little while ago but I don't know if he'll be coming
back in. :-(

Update: I carried him in at 2:50 am. He died at 3:01 am. I burried him in the early morning light of the 23rd.
Goodbye my friend.
He actually died from the Parvo virus. It's a quick killer and nothing can be done when they get it. Get your pets vaccinated and keep up with them.
The book is closed.
