Ode to Bodie
We went to the pound
finding a pet was our goal,
but it was you who picked us
with those eyes full of soul.
Pig ears and bully stix
were always your fave,
but really I think
any food you could crave.
What a smarty pant dog,
you learned several a great trick,
sit, stay, shake and speak
you caught on just so quick.
You loved your long walks
full of cavorting and twirls,
and hiking Briones
you'd chase ALL the squirrels!
So gentle were you
with the cats in our home,
nose to nose to greet them
your love you have shown.
Oh to have another 15 years
with your charm and your smarts,
Just know that your paws
Have left prints on our hearts.
