really liked that i have a rescue dog, and the poem brought a little tear to my eye.

Thank you guys it even makes me a little teary LOL
I have posted the poem off to the Dogs Trust so I may get my poem 'in print'

I hope you do Chrriss. It's obviously a matter DEAR TO YOUR HEART.

xx

I've lost both my dogs now (Jessie Mother & Toby her son) they've left a large hole in my heart... I have cried so much they give you such unconditional love.

I wrote the poem because if I get another dog he would have to be old 'like me'.

On a lighter side Merry Xmas to all (Dec 2013)

That was lovely, thank you for that.

Loved your poem Chrriss
thank you....

I've only just seen this and so now I have got tears too.

It sounds just like Pepsi. Although not the Dogs Trust she had been in kennels for a long time because she was elderly. So are we and now we get on like a house on fire

God, that reminds me of my days in rescue struggling to rehome the oldies. We got our fair share of older folk looking for dogs and for some reason out of the rehoming team I ended up dealing with so many of these people as they had already come across with unreasonable or unrealistic expectation and could I heck ever persuade these older folk to look at an oldie? Could I heck as like. had to be a puppy - didn't want a dog that might die soon etc etc


So if only I had more experiences like this poem.
