Two years ago, last month
My heart was punctured & crushed
I still miss HER so much
Yet I’m ready for another pup
I’ve waited long enough
My heart’s already filling up
Only she’s barely 3 weeks old
And needs more time to grow
Before I can bring her home
She sent this selfie for show
Said to tell y’all hello
And she can’t wait to run her chateau
Watches over me
From her field of dreams
Now running wild and free
A year ago today
I watched my Tara slip away
It still feels like it was yesterday
She laid down to sleep
Leaving only memories to keep
That fill me with pride and peace
My Shepherd
Watches over me
From her field of dreams
Now running wild and free
I see you everyday
Though it’s been 8 months
Since you went away
My memories will stay
You were always my pup
Even when old and grey

In her sleep she wags
Her tail, and I like to think
It’s because of me
She dreams of morning treats, and
Walks, parks, bones, toys and well, me

This is my ninety pound, 8 year old puppy.

The numbers increase every day
Discarded like waste in an open grave
Ignorant breeders refuse to believe
Immature pet owners who are naïve
To their part in overpopulation
Taking place in an influential nation
More than half of those who go into
A shelter are killed, so don’t be fooled
Sweet gladiators
Protective, yet tolerant
Reliable pets
Under appreciated
Misjudged by our society
