How silly of me
Just finished reading 'Marley and Me' for the 2nd time with misty eyes
Damn I am turning into a sissy woman
The last few chapters whereby the dog was turning old and sickly
And of course eventually passing on never fails to get to me
We know that sometimes they just can never be truely replaced
They spent the biggest parts of their short little lives waiting for you to come home
But the most amazing thing of all
They teach you the art of unconditional love
Of enjoying the simple pleasures in life
They just come and leave such big holes in your hearts
Protecting you with their tiny teeth
Shielding you from harm with their little bodies
Consoling you and offering their lifetimes' worth of companionship
Licking your face dry from your tears
And breaking their legs just so they could jump onto that too-high bed
Just to be with you
I missed my dog.
