I found this poem online called “Losing Jake” by Amy Waggoner-- --it can be found here: http://www.petloss.com/poems/maingrp/jake.htm I changed just a few of the words for Lucky... Losing Lucky There’s a hole in my heart where a dog used to be. He’s nuzzled my soul and is now part of me. His pain is his life and I know what to do. But when I release him, I’m losing me, too. The puppy I cradled three short years ago is a five-pound bundle of love and I know that he’d lick away all of my tears if he could. It’s his sense of duty to make me feel good. It’s my obligation to do what is best. The love of his “master” is put to the test. It’s a wrenching and sorrowful way that we part; it doesn’t hurt less when the head rules the heart. There’s a hole in my heart where my Lucky passed through. When we say goodbye part of me will go, too. |
