All of Our Best

In part, we were designed specifically by you
From the wolf our many breeds flow
But part of what we are, we became, for you

Compared to humans, our life span is short
And because the time we have here is limited
We have put all of the best into our years

We live life to the fullest, soaking it all in
Whether it is something joyful, scary, or sad
We cannot afford to waste a precious day

For us there is such little time to spend
to do all that all dogs like and need to do, and
If given a choice, we would do it all with you

You complete our lives and make us whole
Because we delight in the time we are with you
We give you all that is good in us to give

If you have hurt us or we have angered you
When we gaze at you, it is with tender regard
Deep in our souls, though you may not see it

The expression you get when you look at us
And your eyes are full of gratitude and love
That is how we see you in our hearts, always

So, when next you take that quiet moment
And we connect, eye-to-eye and heart-to-heart
Know, for me, a day is a lifetime
And love is a gift... we both give
