Smiling and playing
I sat, looking at them all
captured by one
He said,"Take Minnie for a while
Get to know her."
But which one was Minnie?
The border collie?
Or one of the labs?
It didn't matter
I only wanted one
She took my eye
and stole my heart.
The black and brown mix,
what was her name?
So i walked, slouched to the kennels
To pick out this "Minnie"
and say goodbye to my new friend.
But, behold. He has opened the wrong kennel
That's where my mutt lives
Oh joy, SHE is Minnie.
My Minnie.
We worked and played
Shared hotel rooms and love
Never to be parted
To stay together till old and gray.
But she aged quicker than I
And we had one last trip
To the vet to say our goodbyes.
The lakes flooded down my face
And she was gone.
Her toys remain, memories, licks,
fights and love.
And now she is gone.

Mia, I miss you. I can't sleep, I can't walk, I can't drive, I can't move. I'm missing you. I'm waiting on your remains so I can have them next to me
It’s been a hard two weeks for me without you here but I can remember the day I said I do! I do! It all started with one of my dearest friends and I
The first moment I saw Ino I knew she was the one. We had so much fun together. She was the love of my life, she and her sister, Baby. I'm super happy
