Ode to an old friend

Postby Blooty » Sat Jun 06, 2009 1:47 pm

He was my good buddy
My constant companion
My shadow.

He was always happy to see me.

He was always happy to follow along
or sometimes lead.

He would have followed me anywhere.
Now I shall have to follow him.
Someday.

I will miss you, good buddy.

Sorry about your loss, it's amazing how close you can get to those guys. I have three dogs and two kids and I only bother putting identification on my dogs.
Once again, very sorry about the loss.

I shed a tear for you thinking about my old buddy, Shasta, who hiked with me for years and was my constant companion.

The Bible says a good man is kind to his beast and I think you can tell something about the character of a person by his love for animals.

My heart goes out to you.
