for Dixie

I had to put my nine year old german shephard down one year ago today. She developed cancer quite quickly and in a matter of weeks she deteriorated terribly. I miss her everyday. Sometimes I think I see her or hear her bark. She was Dog of The Day on January 14, 2001. She is my dog of the day everyday. Here's a poem for you, Dixie:

Member of the Family

What would I do without you
My precious Furry friend?
Part mischeif, but all blessing,
and faithful till the end!
You look at me with eyes of love
You never hold a grudge
You think I'm far to wonderful
to criticize or judge.
It seems your greatest joy in life
is being close to me
I think God knew how comforting
Your warm soft fur would be.
I know you think you're human,
But I'm glad it isn't true.
The world would be a nicer place
If folks were more like you.
A few short years are all we had
The day has come to part
But you , my pet, will always have
A place within my heart.
