Our four-legged furry daughter Reva bid us a farewell She went on her new journey wagging her tail God came to take her during her sleep Took her to his magnificent land to run around and leap She came to say goodbye to us before she left Showing a sign of a joyful dog through another adoring pet She brought us a tennis ball just like Reva always did Assuring us to be happy for Reva while she is on her next trip Although our eyes are misty and our hearts are tender, Our minds are grateful to her for the blessed years Her love was unconditional, her bliss was so pure, The evergreen energy she radiated sparkled everywhere Tirelessly she would run around, jump and swim, Use her sporty physique to fetch balls and wooden sticks Family games of hide-seek, cricket, basketball, and hiking Enthusiastically she would participate in each with great liking We needed help of words to communicate with her She would simply respond through her doting eyes of brown color We miss those eyes, the presence, the energy, the snugs The house seems very quiet without her irresistible innocence Each moment we thank him for bringing her in our lives And taking her back without any bodily pain and anguish.

This is wonderful. We lost a dog last spring and now we have found one very similar who mostly lays around and likes treats. Same as the other dog. Aussies are supposed to be highly energetic but I prefer them not that way. So we got lucky with this new dog!

Such a heartfelt poem, dear Smita ! I know how much you cared and loved Reva and how pained you are on missing her. I too had a dog ---- Tippu, a dachshund. So adorable he was. When he died, for days we were in pain.

Thank you Valsa! It is very painful to go through the grieving period as we miss them so much in every little corner of the house. Tippu is such a cute name!! You must have a treasure of his memories with you as I have Reva's. Take care!

Your words resonate throughout this poem, Smita, invoking memories of a beloved pet. Your recall of her playful behavior and unconditional love--speak to the mutual love, as if family--in fact they are family! I know you treasure the time spent together. We lost our dog a few years ago--so I can relate. Loved your honest depiction, straight from the heart.
