"Woof!" I said as you started the car,
"Hooray!" I said, it's my first time afar.....
The scents we were passing were all new to me,
For it was my first introduction to this mystery.
As we got out of the car I embraced you with joy,
After all you remembered to bring my favourite toy!
You threw it once or twice, of which I retrieved,
But on the third it seemed you were ready to leave.
You threw it long and hard and I chased it like lightning,
But when I turned to bring it back I saw a sight quite frightening.
I gripped my toy hard as I tried to comprehend
What it was I did wrong to make our relationship end.
You walked back to your car as I sat there still loyal.
Why am I subservient and you so royal?
Your engine started, and you peeled out into the night,
You didn't even care about my overwhelming fright.
As I sat in my pose determined you would come back,
The sun faded behind me while the surroundings turned black.
Day after day I stayed in that park,
Lying... waiting... too feeble to bark.
As I lay there dying thinking of you master,
I asked myself how I got into this horrifying disaster.
With my last breath of life, I whispered your name
Then I collapsed in a heap overrun by pain.
Why didn't you love me master? Why didn't you care?
Had I no significance, was I just a clump of hair?
I stayed there master and I waited for you
I guess taking care of me was just too much to do.
I'm gone now master, no more You-and-I
But what I can't figure out is why you didn't even say goodbye...

It wouldn't have hit me so hard except it actually happens. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteVery sad and pertinent comment directed at people who don't return the love and loyalty their dogs give to them.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any pets, but I know many people who have a great love for their pets, especially dogs who seem to be just so loyal. Trust you had a great weekend, Patrick
ReplyDeleteGave me goosebumps... and what Jeff said.

ReplyDeleteRay, what brings me hope, is that the dog lovers of the world far outweigh the ones that mistreat animals.
Love the little shepherd saying, I don't care where we go, I happy as long as I'm with you.
Thanks Ray
the love of dogs for human beings is a mystery! but it's such a sweet mystery! are we sure to be always worth of their love?
ReplyDeleteSmokey (Yorkie) can be a real pain in the ass sometimes, but he adores me and I adore him right back. I could say the same about my partner and he about me. Though we three live in a highly dysfunctional, special-needs, drama-filled household, the love we share makes it all worth it.
ReplyDeleteHurrah for dogs!
ReplyDeleteI drive me nuts to see dogs sad or neglected.
what gifts did you get apart from a hardback cover of the raping of europa! ha ha
ReplyDeletemy tummy hurts are you! vomiting coming off that deathly satans snow we feel your pain! ray!
