Mr JoeJo
May 1998-July 2013
Your Dog
Friendships we make in life often prematurely end
But ’til the day that he dies your dog will be your friend
Your dog will love you and from you never part
Your bond with your dog an affair of the heart
Your dog a true friend and true friends are rare
Of your social rank she is one who doesn’t care
For a meal and a few words of kindness each day
In love and devotion you he will more than repay
Your dog you can trust and your trust he will not betray
That is more than most of your human friends that you can say
On your dog’s love for you doubtless you can rely
To most of your human friends such does not apply
Some humans you thought were friends about you may lie
But your dog will love you ’til the day he will die.

I have been watching your anguish the last few days. I am sorry for your loss but relieved that JoeJo is in a pain-free place for good now 🙂

Thank you so much Sue. He stayed with me a lot longer than anyone ever thought he would, as he was very ill when I first got him.

Oh, I’m so sorry. I know how very hard it is to lose a beloved pup. He’s your special angel now. I hope you can find a good outlet for your grief. For me, my blog helped and I also put together a special scrap book filled with my favorite pictures of my girl. Thnking of you at this most difficult time. (Glad you could have a smile over at Pooch Smooches.) Hang in there.
