For Coco

Post by Glenys »

For Coco who went to the bridge today:
Thanks from the bottom of our hearts to Alison and family who cared for him when he was in need and you,, our supporters who sponsor dogs like Coco.

An Old Dogs Request

When I am old my coat is grey
One extra quilted would keep the cold at bay
Patterned ,plain or tartan would suffice
But waterproof would be very nice

Perhaps agentle walk through fields of heather
with my quilted coat I wouldnt mind the weather
I'd even love a romp in the snow
Chasing snowballs that you throw

Lie by the fire,curled up at your feet
and when Im warm join you on the seat
Contented thoughts will drift accross my mind
Not thoughts you would have
But the doggy sort of kind

To stretch out in the sun on sunny days
by my favourite treeI'll doze and watch its rays
then in the evening watch the fireflies
as they dart beneath the darkening skies

But when I'm old,one thing I ask of you
and it may well be the hardest thing you do
Please,let me leave this life with dignity
Please have the courage to set me free

Sit beside me I'll know your near
gently stroke my head,but never fear
I'll know that out of love you've sent me home
and with your love in heavens fields I'll roam

When this time comes,I'll walk through country lanes
Old eyes will see.i'll be free from pain
Know that by your side I will not stray
Look into your heart I'll be there every day.

A lovely tribute to a lovely boy who had the best "retirement"
possible with a family who loved him and lots of doggy friends.
Run free Coco.
