In honor of our beloved dog who had to be put to sleep after his health was too badly impacted by constant violent seizures, I wrote this poem to honor his memory to our family. This was the best dog and family friend anyone could ask for.

Our Boston Terrier

A striped white head
On brindle colored body
Majestic stance of a statue
Energy level of the gods

You ran through our hearts
You ran through our soul
A child not of human flesh and bone
But of our spirit and family

A smile graced your face
A playful bark every day
You are the joy of our home
You bring smiles every day

You bring so much love
Tender heart care too much
Even when ill you try to comfort
You deserve the comfort now

Sweet, Tender dog of ours
May you find peace in the end
You deserve to run fields
And chase lizards forever in time

Thank you for the memories
And sharing our warm home
Each time you had an accident
Perhaps we expected too much

Eight years was surely not enough
Your friendship and companionship too short
You were the best friend on four legs ever
You were like another child to us
