The house is a little quieter this morning and a little lonelier. Our Silky Terrier passed away peacefully in his sleep yesterday after fighting a long hard fight. We had his love and devotion for 10 yrs. He was such a good old dog and we miss him. I wrote this poem in his memory.

He silently listens to my trouble and woes
A shadow that follows where ever I go
With a loyal devotion, his brown eyes shine
A faithful companion this buddy of mine
His steps grow slower, we’re close to the end
I’ll never forget you my old furry friend
If dogs go to Heaven , the first thing I’ll see
Your little tail waggin’ as you run to greet me.

We’ll miss him too. Who is going to bark when the men get up and walk across the floor? Someone else will have to keep an eye on those men now.
Love you Rufus!
So sorry, he will be missed!
Beautiful poem, as usual. Sorry for the loss, I know pets have a special place in our hearts!
