| Cajun's Mom-
Thank you for posting that beautiful poem.
I lost my beloved Portia, 5 1/2 years young, on December 27, 2000. She was my first dog as an "adult". She had just had her yearly vet check and was in the best of health.
She died in a tragic, terrible, one of a kind accident. She was electrocuted when her wet paws touched a manhole cover. The cover had been electrified from the side that was not visible to the naked eye. To me, and to any passerby, it appeared as if nothing was wrong. She died before my eyes as I stood there helpless.
I have been dreading the one year anniversary next week. But your poem makes me realize that she is with me (and probably laughing hysterically at the antics of Nash, her younger brother)
I especially liked the line "I never thought I would die" because that captured her spirit and her life. Portia never thought she would die.
Thank you. :) |
