Years Past - Edited

Happy
Yappy

Husky
Puppy

Barking
Playing

Jumping
Running

Growing 
Showing

Stronger
Vigour

Guarding
Barking

Growling
Marking

Pees trees
With ease

Declines
Bath times

Bribes him
I win

Years past
Too fast
 
Sleeps more
Joints sore

Time to 
Let go

Tail waves
Bye bye

Asleep
I weep

Sky shows
Rainbow

He leaves 
I grieve.

I had only three of many that were super special and I felt an actual bond with, two dogs and one cat. All the others never really made me feel like i had a big connection with them. It's very difficult to get that with a cat, ,but I had one that was amazing.

Thank you Andrea. They do indeed leave too soon. Have had many animals over the years including dogs and cats. Each one equally loved and missed. Emilia : )
