Care For A Friend

Help care for a friend
find a home, help him mend.
Has a heart of gold
has to move – he’s told.
Find a place, a nice new home
where people care – he can roam.
His eyes are lonely, can’t you see
just wants love, somewhere to be.
Holds no grudges, has a happy heart
looking for a family, a brand new start.
Care for your friend, any way you can
a helping hand, a ride in a van.
Just a warm wish, tossed his way
may be all he needs to make his day.… Read the rest

Blind Dogs Have Fun Too

Robbie loves to toss his ball
no need for anyone else at all.
Jumping and prancing
he looks like he’s dancing.

he plays some more.
Find another new toy

Taking time for a rest
still loves his ball the best.

Dedicated to Robbie – Blind but no Handicap

Emails sent, looking for a reply

Taken to the vet, my brother and I
cared for, repaired, in the wink of an eye.
We are fortunate someone cared
while thousands more, won’t be … Read the rest

The Joy is Ours

Dogs share our lives
make it complete
keep us company
lay at our feet.
Entertain us
give us joy
think life is great
with each new toy.
A pat on the head
scratch under the chin
keeps them happy
and we always win.
The joy is ours
to keep in our heart
the dogs let us think
we’re pretty smart.
