It is always sad to lose a beloved pet, but although I am an emotional kind of man, I cannot remember the hurt being this bad before. Maybe it is simply what happens as we grow older. Or could it be that we spent so much of our time together?
Sadie the German Shepherd was without doubt the kindest, most gentle and patient dog I have ever had the privilege to share my life with.
Here is a song I have written in her sweet memory. I managed to hold it together until just before the end of the song when there is a bit of an emotional wobble.
There is a reason why I share this sad song with you but I cannot formulate the words as to what that reason is. Something to do with music as therapeutic and the purpose of all art is surely to provoke a response of some sort.
John, this is perfect. Thanks for sharing it with us. Maggie, Chips, Butchy Boy and all my former friends are romping with Sadie.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely song John, and you sing it with so much feeling. Goodnight dear Sadie.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful song for Sadie.
ReplyDeleteYour song is a lovely tribute to your dear friend. Sharing grief is a good way to deal with it and what a wonderful way to share you have chosen.
ReplyDeleteJohn what a beautiful tribute to a loving friend....listening to you sing made me realise even more what a wonderful companion she was to you.
ReplyDeleteDear Sadie....gone but always in our hearts.
That was beautiful John; brought a tear to my eye.
ReplyDeleteA very lovely tribute your your furry mate.
ReplyDeleteA touching tribute to your dear friend, Sadie.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Sadie will meet you at the end of the rainbow bridge.
