Goodbye Dante (our dog)

Michael Anthony

 

Sometimes you have to push the bully love aside,
out of the way, elbow and shoulder,
so necessity can see through what love fears most,
loss and the damage of absence.

To see what needs to be done
no matter love’s protests,
though they are not unheard.

Love and necessity, formidable forces,
will eventually reunite
as confederates in purpose,
but gently and in time

    It must be a really challenging thing to go through, I've personally never faced the loss of a pet but I can imagine that it hurts a lot, I hope you can find peace in the things you do.

      Thank you Rocky. It is a difficult part of pet ownership, but.... we will do it again at some point.

      Best
      Mike
