For Suki

I look into those big brown eyes,
and I am filled with so much fear.
The thought of you, not being by my side,
not being here, or near...

Out of all the overwhelming pain in life,
this shakes my core, my continent.
They won't understand my cher ami,
my sweet constant confident...

That the thought of you not being in my life,
would be the dreariest, dreariest fog.
I love you Suki, with all my heart.
You were more than just a dog.

Awh. That's how I felt with my cat, Muffy. She died when she got 16. She died in her litter box ):
