Pookah Haiku

A decade and more
Love affair so deep, so strong
With my love, my dog

My days lit up by
Her tail-wagging happiness
Eagerly greeting.

Though clouded with age,
Her shining brown eyes declare
Such adoration.

Our years have fast flown - 
Brown fur dappled now with snow;
Velvet ears frost touched.

Can't help but nuzzle
The warm kissable muzzle
Of my dog. My friend.

'Love me; love my dog',
A lifelong heartfelt motto.
Love lasts forever.

I knew the end was drawing close and I lost her 12 short months after this was written.
