Unconditional Love

I will never forget the cold fateful day my son said, Hey mom, can I have a dog so we can play. After much thought and laying down the rules, We stopped by our local animal shelter one day after school. Harley was a high spirited handful right from the start, He had boundless energy but a gentle heart. Our Golden Retriever a fence would not keep him in, He would run away from home time and time again. The passage of time seems to have mellowed our boy, He is such a sweetheart it's hard not to spoil. The years have passed quickly and he has slowed down, But the love he has shown us still abounds. I can hardly fathom the thought of his life ever coming to an end, Our loyal, faithful, forever friend. Harley has been a joy, a gift from the start, Our sweet boy who will always have a piece of our heart.
