Pawprints

Your pawprints are on my heart.
Pawprints that taught me about caring.
Pawprints that taught me about love.
Pawprints that taught me about courage.
Pawprints that taught me about hope.
Pawprints that brought me companionship.
Pawprints that brought me laughter and joy.
In the time I cared my whole life changed –
never to be the same again.
Through good times and bad, you never left my side.
All this from tiny pawprints that touch my heart.
You will live in my memories forever – never to be forgotten.
Goodbye, sweet dog.
I will always love you.
You were my best friend.
