"A pet gone that we have once loved we will never lose; for that pet we loved so deeply becomes part of our heart forevermore." Quote by - Constance

Goodbye Brutis

    My friend had to put his dog to sleep today,
        he was a Dachshund only five years old;
                   loyal, brave, clever, pretty eyes,
                   feisty, beloved, with floppy ears.
    Brutis had a "big" dog personality all the time,
        loved most people, children, and other dogs;
    Oh, Brutis had so much charisma, so much charm,
        I can see him walking with that wee hop in his step.
               But, Dachshunds have delicate backs,
         and Brutis suddenly became paralyzed.
                    No surgery possible,
                    no other option ~
    So, he said goodbye and I love you Brutis today,
         you were a little warrior-  now, go get your wings !
