This little poem I write, might not
be understood
Before I got my little Scooter, I surely
never could

Understand how my friend could love her little
dog like a baby
I even told her that it might be just a
little too much, maybe

But then for a gift, I got this little
dog of mine
It's been almost a year now, and we get
along real fine

I've had pets all of my life and I
really did love them
But this one I'm more attached to, I
hope I'll always have him

From the start he's been as special
as could be
Because he was a Christmas present that
my Love gave to me

I never did like to let, in the house a
dog to stay
But little Scooter from the start, in here
most of the day

With him in my bed, I even let
him sleep
That started out when just a puppy and in
his bed he'd weep

I know when I talk about him, some think
I'm mighty silly
But like my friend said to me, it doesn't
matter, really

I've got my daughter, my Love, family, and
lots of good friends
But, my little Scooter, a loving ear
he always lends

He listens to me when I have happiness,
troubles, or woes
It seems that with his instincts, my moods
he always knows

When I come home from places, and doing
things I have to do
He greets me with such love and joy, like I've
been gone for a year or two

So if every now and then, a poem like this you see
I'm just talking about my little Scooter, who's
like a "baby" to me

GiGi:
yes, sigh, i know. Thank you for your empathy in my poem, as you surely do know what they mean. It's not just the loss...its losing the completeness of OUR lives without them.
How pure their love: they reserve all judgements from us, yet give all they can give.
A living testament to the power we have to love
ALL things, and not just people.

Yes, Jeff, you are so right. They're so loving,
trusting, and forgiving.
Thanks for your reply.

(smiles) Awwwwwwwww, I love puppies soooooooo much, they are soooooooo cute and I loved the first poem just as much as I love this dedication! (kiss on cheek) I think puppies are a lot like us in a way as they always seem to cry when they share their sympathy to you and are happy when you ae happy! (kiss on cheek) I love this, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Noah, thanks so much, sweet friend. I felt so bad for Jeff when I
read his poem about his sweet little "Baby" doggy. I didn't know
exactly how to let him know that I understood a little of the pain
he felt. So, I thought my poem might kind of help him to know.
The first thing I thought of was how bad I would be hurting
if that was about my little "baby" Scooter. Thanks for
understanding me, sweet friend.

Ethel, you are fortunate to have such a loving canine friend---and you should read this poem to him...from the sounds of it, he's part human and will understand every word, but if he doesn't, he will hear the love in your voice.

~ hugs to you and your little buddy

Thanks, Linda.....
You know, he may really be part human(?), the
heart and emotions part, anyway. He acts as
though he understands me very well. Maybe I
will read the poem to him........
