My Dog Mikey

Today I had to put my dog down, 
old age, arthritic, and sick. 
I've had him for fourteen years, 
and right now I feel like a big prick. 
Mikey was my familys first dog, 
we got him when my oldest boy was just two; 
he has been with my family ever since, 
inside my heart I am sad and blue. 
I will surely miss him, 
running to greet me as I return home; 
I know that he has a better life now, 
and the fields in heaven he'll roam. 

Written for my mutt Mikey; I will truly miss you boy!
