Post something heartfelt about an animal/pet right here:
http://www.mamarocks.com/a_dog_named_beau.htm

"Beau" by Jimmy Stewart

"SNIP......................

He never came to me when I would call
Unless I had a tennis ball,
Or he felt like it,
But mostly he didn't come at all.

When he was young
He never learned to heel
Or sit or stay,
He did things his way.

....................


And now he's dead.
And there are nights when I think I feel him
Climb upon our bed and lie between us,
And I pat his head.

And there are nights when I think
I feel that stare
And I reach out my hand to stroke his hair,
But he's not there.

Oh, how I wish that wasn't so,
I'll always love a dog named Beau.

............................. SNIP"

1. I love it when my big orange tabby-boy gives me hugs...
He's a sweetheart beyond compare...
*snuggles my fuzzy buddy*
