Good Doggy

in remembrance

Forever 13 on June 5, 2026. Miss you girl. This poem is for you.

.

They’re all good doggies, aren’t they?

that pass before we do

Chase every ball and frisbee while we

ignore the things they chew?

.

Never was there a friend more loyal

Nor more attentive too

‘specially when the snacks came out

Who’s a good doggy, who?

.

Ears and tongues flapped in the wind

While running by our side

Or while their head was hanging out

As we went for a drive

.

And oh they loved the belly rubs

And tickles behind the ear

Defended us from every squirrel

And racoons that came near

.

So yeah, I’m gonna miss her when

It’s time for her to eat

And every trip in the truck I take

And see that empty seat

.

But don’t you fret now girl

For this is not goodbye

I’ll always have your memory

To see me through the night

.
