Tell me you didn't recently mourn the loss of Duke? That mourning is not current either. Don't want you sad. A very touching entry that should dispense tissues. All the best ... CayCay

The loss of a family pet is devastating , they become part of the family. Good luck. Tom

Losing a beloved pet is never easy, though all of the good memories you've shared together can never leave you... Jan, this is a tender and well written poem that tugs at the heart ... Nicely done! Good luck in the contest!

Good thing you included paw prints so no one would suspect you were writing about John Wayne! Aloha! Rico
