dog Dino

[keithalanhamilton]

the dog Dino
only the one
not another
best buds
always linked
heart and soul
remembered
walking by foot
driving by car
going here
and there
everywhere
playing hard
tussling
silently sitting
just being
until dog Dino
passed away
leaving behind
immortalizing
what a friend is
and could be

Made me think of all the four-legged friends I've loved over the years. I guess I've been lucky. Never had to deal close up with the loss of a pet. By the time our family pets died, I was already out on my own. And I've moved around so much that I've only had one pet since then-- Cheena the high-jumpin' wonder cat. But she was adopted by a good friend when I left on my long Southwestern wander. Thanks for the look back.
