Sly
I knew you were a big boy,
right from the start.
I took you home,and into
my heart.
You kept all the dogs,out
of my yard.
Being on a chain,must
have been hard.
You were so loveable,
and oh so strong.
I couldn't hold you up,
for very long.
I named you after,Sly
Stallone.
The muscles you had,
were as tough as stone.
I didn't want to, let
you go.
Because,in my heart,
I loved you so.
I took you to the Shenandoah
vet,Because you were our
loving pet.
I looked for a way,
to keep you alive,but
the vet said,you would
never survive.
So,we had to put
you to sleep.
Our love for you,will
be forever deep.
In heaven now,you
will stay.
We'll bow our heads,
and begin to pray.
I hope you know,
we'll miss you Sly.
We did not want,
to say good-bye.
