We held you as a baby
We comforted you as you cried
We taught you the right things
And praised you when you tried
We looked into your big warm eyes
and showed you love everyday
We showered you with loyalty
And proved we would never go away
But through all the fun we had
The end grew near too soon
We held you close and told you how we
Loved you to the moon
You closed your peaceful eyes
and within that hour
Your innocent soul departed
To become a higher power
We laughed at all the memories
We cried through all the pain
We reminisced of all the days you were the sunshine over all the rain
You were always so loyal
Through and through
And were always full of life
how do we live without you?
now my sweet baby
Please watch over us with love
And keep us an empty seat
In the heavens up above
Some may not understand
And then Some may judge
But against those kind
We try to hold no grudge
She filled our hearts with love
and our minds agog
So try to understand
That maybe
Just maybe
That reliable loving baby
Was 'just a dog'.

- Comment from author about the poem: I wrote this today after my beautiful dog Poppy lost her battle with cancer yesterday. Any comments and critism is appreciated x The photo attached is of the day 3 weeks ago we found out she had cancer and how quick it was spreading. My partner sat on the floor crying and she came up put her face in his and kissed him, it was like she was saying it was okay and she understood the heartbreaking decision we would soon have to make. She will always be held in our hearts x

My deepest condolences for your loss. Too often we as people try and decide what should be deemed important and what shouldn't. For some that would see poppy as just some dog would probably cry over more insignificant losses. Your love for poppy was born in and resides in your heart. Let no one judge you for that.
Have labs and this struck a chord, when you love them they are not just dogs to you
Wonderfully written tribute to your dog
Thankyou so much everyone for your lovely comments- my beautiful Choc lab will live in forever in my heart xx
So sad but what a great tribute.
Very good write. It is so sad when a beloved pet goes to the kennel in the sky.
Thankyou xx
a beautiful tribute to mans best friend
Thankyou xx
Very sensitive write. Only the most heartless would say 'Snap out of it, it's only a dog'. We know the same for our various pets we have had - guinea pigs, cats, rabbits, mice.... With piggies I get another one quickly to join the one left behind. They don't like to live alone. Yet pets are gone but not forgotten.
Such a beautiful tribute to your wonderful pet. It is so very sad when we have to say goodbye. Great work on putting this poem together!
This is such a beautiful poem & tribute to your dog, I am so sorry for your loss.
