R.I.P Pinchy boy..

A poem dedicated to Pinchy-my first dog
(refer here to know how he passed away)

I lost a special friend today
The kind you cant replace
Each time i look into thin air
I can still see his endless energy
not forgetting the bright blue sparkling eyes

I remember how he'd run to me
even if you did'nt want him to
especially when you have dressed up
and the last thing u want was his paw prints on your newly washed clothes
How he's ears perked up even with a pin drop sound
How his mouth drops and salivates
when he sees you eating your meal at the dinner table
hoping i will slip him somthing under the table
Thats probably how i cleared the veggies from my plate:)

There's a hole in my heart where a dog used to be
He's nuzzled my soul and is now part of me
His pain is his life and I know what to do.
But when I release him, I'm losing me, too.

The puppy I cradled seven years ago
is still a tiny tot
although his heart is a ninety pound bundle of love and I know
that he'd lick away all of my tears if he could
It's his sense of duty to make me feel good.

There's a hole in my heart where my Pinchy has passed through
When we say goodbye, part of me will go too.
I know there is a special place where the Lord has made
Health, strength and joy awaits him there
So, to my very special friend
I'm sending you all my love

Memories:

Pinchy thought he found a new friend-little did he know it was only a stone statue
