Smiles. Please give her a hug too, from her Auntie Di from across the HUUUGE water bowl. Thank you for checking on the cow in the TRUCK! ! ! poem.

I SO VERY MUCH relate, the precious, beautiful, darling dogalog! So now I nearly forgive you for the poem about the TRUCK! ! !

enjoyed this. At 15 though, 'old pup'.

Tougher than old Tyres A beautiful write. They are part of the family.

Geoffrey, I love this poem. I love dogs, although there is no place for one where I live now. My son has a German Shepherd that is about 15 years old, and will probably not last much longer. She is the best-behaved dog I have ever seen. Congrats on having this selected as member poem of the day. Well done!

If an animal becomes faithful and trustworthy, that's forever. Not that much with human beings. Well deserved positioning. Thanks for sharing.

She came to visit me yesterday/She barked at me to sit next to her/Then told me with her eyes/And her tongue about/Her hospital stay and stuff....so intimate intimate communication! A lovely poem! Many congratulations for this sweet poem being selected as Poem Of the Day! (10)

Sometimes pets become integral part of our life. We enjoy their company as much as they enjoy being with us. A nice poem indeed. Very well crafted. Loved it. Congrats on being chosen as the poem of the day.

My old girl! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

Our lives and those of animals, which we are after all, are so enriching. 'trees and other worthwhile things' A wonderful piece of poetic writing, thank you.

Beautiful porm on pet dog nicely executed. Thanks and congratulations for being selected this poem as the poem of the day.

My heart goes to the faithful friend whose time on Earth maybe stopped running and also to you, the Poet who can always talk to her through his poems, who can make her immortal...Congratulations on being chosen the poem of the day! Blessed it be!

Congratulations on your poem in this category. We who love our pets will enjoy this poem.

wonderful communication with animal- -Then told me with her eyes nicely penned

Geoffrey, I watched the same shows and had the same thoughts. My family's first dog was trained by my uncle to thorughly protect me when I was just 14 months old. My parents told me that he had the uncanny ability to distinguish total strangers from family and other relatives. Thoroughly enjoyed your heart-felt tribute to your great friend!

Geoffrey, such a touching poem...10++++

Sadness and happiness always available with our animal friends through life, great memories available in your relationship with the old black dog, once again, well for me anyway, is your ability to have me along for the ride, well written, Geoffrey.

I enjoyed this poem Geoffrey.
