Missing One Dog

Where did the dogness(soul) go?
Nowhere subtract one dog
Memories remain
Bad dreams whimpering
Restless sleep~"Rocky, wake up."
Asleep rest in peace

Is this the lost of a dog or the celebtation of a new begining! A dog's love never die, but awaits' it soul mate in the after-life....Oh how faithful they are.......Be exceedingly glad! Keep the writeup,Up. Your friend in the pen/G.FIELDS And let him be your final aspiration......

A soulful tribute to Rocky, Sara. How we love our pets! Wishes for him also, "Asleep rest in peace". We've had our pooch over 10 years, we'll be devestated when she passes on. Best wishes, Mikki

Lovely tribute to Rocky. As Linda-Marie says, Sara, he is at peace now, not suffering anymore. I know how much you still miss him, though.

the loss of a pet is traumatic Sara and lingers for a long long time... he was a special family member as most are and so hard to let them go.. just recall the good times .. he is resting at peace not suffering now.. a nice write to tribute Rocky my friend..

so sad, it will take a while to get over your rocky, my murphy has been gone one year and i still feel that he is around here somewhere, even brandy looks for him, before she comes into the house. i know how you feel believe me i do. thank you for commenting on Spending Time.
