KARMEL

What a little treasure you were
Near 13 years never more than just a few feet from me,
Walking beside me, napping beside me while I was at work,
snoozing in the sun as we drove down the highways,
and ever so quick to be right beside me
as I went from room to room.

In the last couple of years, it saddened me to see
the look in your eyes as you tried
to hop up on the couch or to the chair.
The wondering as to why they suddenly 'got higher'
much harder to climb and equally painful to hop down.

What a furball imp you have been,
the times I would get so upset when you would 'forget'...
but; now I would be happy to clean those spots
if only you were here again with me.

Eating a meal was never boring,
because you were there;
shaking and even shedding some fake tears!
Sending the message, so loud and clear:
"I'd like whatever you will share,
toss it down and you will see."

Then, the unthinkable happened to break this bond
your back was hurt and the pain was intense.
Biting down on my hand a couple of times you did;
only to quickly release and lick it instead.
Your beautiful eyes would look at me in pain,
showing you fear,your hurt, and your struggle to heal.

When it became clear no amount of pills would help
and a surgery would only prolong it all;
With sorrow in my heart and grief in my soul
I took you to the DR. to help you take
that final journey.

Your LAST burst of energy, though so painful to see,
was a GIFT from you to me.
Reminding me of the little puppy I have loved
through the years, and always will.

"I'll see you at the
Rainbow Bridge Karmie."
