That poem is one of my favorites and is so fitting for Louie! He is a beautiful boy and I'm so glad you found each other! Love the quote about listening to animals too!
No, I found the poem on-line, feel free to "borrow" it. When Louie was a puppy, he didn't smile, then, one day, when he was 5 months old, he just broke into a huge grin and he has been grinning ever since! I guess he thinks life is pretty good!
What a wonderful poem and LO! I am so glad that you and Louie found each other and that he has helped you so much! I know how much my dog Aslan has helped me with my depression and I couldn't imagine life without him...Dogs are such special friends! This LO brought tears to my eyes.
This page really is wonderful, it inspired me to do something like it for my best friend also..
You captured the wonderful, precious feeling of loving an animal
Bravo!!!!
Here is my dog Louie. I had to retire on disabilty several years ago and I was very depressed, I missed seeing all my friends and co-workers. I am shy and don't make friends easily. My husband suggested I adopt a dog from the shelter. When I saw Louie, it was love at first sight! I think i needed him as much as he needed me. I have made so many new friends just from people stopping me to talk to me about Louie! He is a total clown, he loves people, especially children and will do tricks to make everyone laugh.
Here is the Poem, I think it really describes my boy:
Just My Dog He has told me a thousand times over that I am his reason for being: by the way he rests against my leg; by the way he thumps his tail at my smallest smile; by the way he shows his hurt when I leave without taking him. (I think it makes him sick with worry when he is not along to care for me.)
When I am wrong, he is delighted to forgive. When I am angry, he clowns to make me smile. When I am happy, he is joy unbounded. When I am a fool, he ignores it. When I succeed, he brags. Without him, I am only another woman. With him, I am all-powerful. He is loyalty itself. He has taught me the meaning of devotion. With him, I know a secret comfort and a private peace. He has brought me understanding where before I was ignorant. His head on my knee can heal my human hurts. His presence by my side is protection against my fears of dark and unknown things. He has promised to wait for me... whenever...wherever--in case I need him. And I expect I will--as I always have. He is just my dog.
