Forever In My Heart Will Wag a Doggy Taill

Here is Harry enjoying his new life in doggy heaven.

The sheer delight of fish and chips
Till lately three pounds ten well spent
Are dust and ashes to the lips
Since Harry went.

A cronic frown besets my brow
And every day I'll look upon
An everlasting Tuesday now
With Harry gone.

No doleful dirge, no drooping flag,
But thus his epitaph unveil:
FOREVER IN MY HEART WILL WAG
A DOGGY TAIL.

P.S Thankyou to JD for the original poem which I modified here to fit Harry. The original had 'Till lately 3 and 6 well spent' and '... since Tuppence went.' Tuppence was our childhood dog.

My heart goes out to both of you.


Even more so since you got an insensitive spam comment, that assures you it isn't spam, but of course it is.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Harry's blog is one I kept on my work computer to see what he was up to all the time. I will miss him. I lost my Max at 13 last year; I still cry for him! Try and center on the wonderful memories you have of Harry.

So sorry to hear about this.

We recently lost a cat, so I know the feeling.

Many condolences.
