How I Saved My Best Friend
Loyalty is my middle name as I wait for her all day,
oh, and when that door opens I bark and start nagging!
Slobbery wet kisses I give saying “I love you” in my own way,
I’m so filled with puppy excitement my tail won’t stop wagging!
See, I was lost and abandoned in a kennel before,
until she saved me from a sad life so alone-
Now life is great and I love her so much more,
since she gave me a warm bed and a loving home.
Thank God I am no longer in that cage at night!
now I sleep at her feet so comfortable and warm-
She was lonely as I saved her from terrible fright,
I could see her heart was full of sorrow and was torn.
She was crying one night; seems she lost a deep love,
I just couldn’t understand her pain very well-
Her old dog had passed now resting peacefully above,
she felt lost and depressed, I could really tell.
But one day something changed in her,
I think I helped save her from her deep heart ache-
She just wouldn’t stop caressing my soft fur,
and during crisp Autumn days walks we would take.
Now my favorite ducky toy is all torn from playing too much,
and my bones all chewed within a day of getting-
All she lives for is my sweet tender-loving touch,
and constant attention with snuggles and petting.
I couldn’t be more grateful for her and her for me,
we saved each other with unconditional adoration-
I can see the anguish in her eyes was set free,
we gave our undivided attention, with no more separation.
*After losing my sweet dog Bo, I am hoping one day I will be able to live this dream of a new puppy saving me, and me saving him*
