I’ve had losses before in my life.
The kind that takes your heart,
rolls it inside out,
ties it to the back of
a Jeep Wrangler, and
runs through a cactus farm
seeing how many needles it will hold.
Never thought I’d grieve
like this over a dog, though.

Sorry for your loss, Pat.
I'm so sorry! Here's my goodbye to Rodeo too. "So long pal".
A very real loss. Sorry to hear that, Pat.
it never ends, does it?
Writing helps to deal with the losses of life. My condolences for your loss of Rodeo.
Goodbye... I remember a saying: There is no completeness without sorrow... It goes deep.
been staring at the screen for five minutes
don't know what to say
(maybe that says it all)
so sorry man
(i lost "pincher" last year and know how it hurts)
cheers
When our first dog died, the agony was unbelievable. Can relate to your loss and send my condolences.
Thanks everyone. Your words mean alot.
So very well said. My last post was of the same vein. See Kadi. The feeling was as I've never felt before. It does get better though--remembering the life and the love.
my childhood friend died when i was a teenager. very traumatic. haven't been able to have another dog since . . . :(
but the poem, as always, is well done and uniquely your style.
Fantastic imagery to illustrate your pain.
My sympathies.
