my Poodle Dog -- a Poem for dVerse Poetics, NaPoWriMo 2024 Day 17 and Friday Writings

My Beagle Dog
You were a puppy
when we first got you
You grew fairly fast
got set in your way
Chasing squirrels
you loved to do
Up the trees where
squirrels were safe
Walks you hated
going the worst
Coming home best
that you would walk
You are old now
and can't respond
Ashes I'll keep
bury with me

A poignant poem to your poodle, Jim.
What a sweet heartfelt conversation, Jim. Pets really are one of the family. I love your ending.
Will admit to getting misty-eyed reading your poem. I have lost too many furry friends over the years. Have a wonderful week.
A friend you have lost... I can understand the love and connection
A sweet one Jim!
Our pets are so precious to us.
Ah, the love of these dear companions is such a treasure.
Really heart felt - i can feel the love.
Condolences...
PK
They give us so much unconditional love.
