Notes About The Poem

(My Own Pic)

My Dog Blue

Blue entered my life four years ago
An eight week old puppy, fast he did grow
Small bundle of fluff, blue eyes so bright
The feeling I felt was love at first sight.
I believe he chose me rather than I did he
First time we met running clumsy to me
Sniffing, rapid licking then tinkled a wee
Instantly marked, life friends we would be.
That night he was restless missing his kin
Barking and crying, whine whimpering
So I laid down next to his new puppy bed
He snuggled up close nestling his head.
Next morning awoke to licking wet kisses
And puddles on paper where he did his business
His tail madly wagging, happy, excited
Instant bond growing, our love was ignited.
Tales and adventures followed, years fast flew
One day will share who choose to read through
More to yet happen, explore and to chart
But for now I will keep them close to my heart.

Thank you Paula. He is a handsome boy, If light reflects on his eyes in the dark they go red. He is no demon dog though, quiet the opposite. He is one big softie. Emilia : )

A dog isn't always a man's best friend, he is also a women's best friend too! Lovely poem Emilia, about you & Blue. Hope he is still bringing you much happiness :) Hope all is well. Hugs Charlie

Hello Emilia ... you couldn't ask for anything or anyone better than a dog as they never fail to give unconditional love - thank you Emilia - Lindsay

Thank you so much Lindsay and couldn't agree with you more. Is sad they are so misunderstood in some cultures, Emilia.

Thank you so much John. Our bond and friendship is very strong. The picture should of been bigger but for some reason came out small. Hugs, Emilia : )

Thank you so much Natasha, I am a big dog lover and the bond can be so tight. I think I learn more from them than they do me, Emilia x
