Obituaries

Sam was a very special dog to me. Had him for 16 wonderful years. I remember when I first got him while in high school. I was going through a tough time in my life and he really helped me through it. Those walks, taking him to the dog park, the quality times in the evenings, I’m so gonna miss those. He wasn’t a big fetch dog, but I loved seeing him so happy running around in my backyard. I’m sad, but also grateful. Sam had a good long life, I guess it was time to let him go. At least I got to say goodbye. I could say a lot of the good times I had with him, but I decided to put it in a farewell poem for him to be creative. I call it “Special Blog to my Special Dog”.

I remember when I first got you
It was love at first sight
Full of energy you were
My feelings you did excite
A beautiful corgi you were
The cardigan breed you display
Rare dog it really is
Hard to find in the USA
Our walks were so much fun
In the rain or shine
Just walking in the breeze
Also with the smell of pine
The dog park was also cool
Seeing you make friends in the sun
You really seemed so happy
The way you barked and run
When I came home from school
Always someone I looked forward to
Tail wagging with excitement
That special someone was you
I even loved taking you to baseball games
Those quite the weekends
The outside filled with excitement
Even showed you to my friends
When I went away to college
I knew you wanted me to stay
You were still in good hands
You were going to be ok
When you barked at night
At times it wasn’t fair
Still one fact really mattered
It was knowing you were still there
Now you cross the rainbow bridge
Our bond will never end
See ya later Sam my dog
Thanks for being my best friend
