"God sends pets without wings so no one will suspect they are angels ..." Unkown Pets are Angels in disguise Endearing was my canine companion There was no other pet in my life dearer than my dog Seated close, sometimes he would curl up at my side. Amiably he would lay his head in my lap and sleep, Ready to wake up at the slightest sound, Ever alert guarding our home from rodents and rowdies. A wild roamer was my cute tawny dachshund. Never was he in chains to be hauled like cattle. Gave us company as we took our evening rounds. Endearingly he would rub his body on our knees, Licking our feet and arms in deep affection. So full of mischief, playfully he capered and hopped. I have never felt a love so deep to any other as to him. Nor had a bereavement more intense than the one at his departure. Death claimed him before we could anticipate. Inseparable was he from our home and our children. Speechless I stand when memories churn within Grew up as a member of the family and an abiding companion. Unable to break the bond, he clings to our hearts. In haunting thoughts of him, we still get choked. Sacred memories of him are forever enshrined within. Eternal bliss and sweet rest be granted unto him!
