He was just a dog.
A dog that filled our lives.
A dog that drove us to distraction,
A dog we will never forget,
and who we loved deeper than we ever expected.
We were his everything,
On the stairs waiting for his welcome home hug,
Just the right height location,
4 steps up.
His head fitting perfectly on our shoulders.
Always present,
the house is empty.
Empty of barks,
there were lots of barks,
the "someone at the door" bark,
the "let's play" bark,
the "I want out" bark,
"Can I come back in now" bark,
"What you doing sitting there" bark,
"It is dinner time" bark (how dare you
make yours and not mine!).
Paw steps on the floor,
slobbery drinking,
his back presented for a stroke,
the thump as he lay down
at the front door
protecting his pack.
Life was full of joy
for Merry,
A branch of a tree
Carried with pride.
The sea!
A river!
A muddy puddle!
Trotting with happiness
through a park
down a lane
across a beach
round the garden.
How we miss you Merry
You were a loved dog
Part of our family
Thank you for your love and life...
