For 16 years he has been a joy and a trial, a guardian and an active companion.
For 16 years we have done our best to give him good care and love. He gave more than he got.

OLD PAL
His heart still beats
He breathes and eats
His sound and sight are gone
His nose works well
Detecting smell
His legs still move, are sound
But!
A snarl comes forth when awakened
His disorientation has blossomed
He has forgotten where to do his job
Untrained - deranged - undone - sob
It may be time……..
