I love dog poetry and short stories, here's some of my FAVORITES enjoy :)
God gave to every dog an understanding Soul
Every dog must have a soul,
somewhere deep inside
Where all his hurts and grievances are buried with his pride.
Where he decides the good and bad,
the wrong way from the right,
And where his judgment carefully is hidden from our sight.
A dog must have a secret place,
where every thought abides,
A sort of close acquaintance that he trusts in and confides.
And when accused unjustly for himself,
He cannot speak,
Rebuked,
He finds within his soul,
the comfort he must seek.
He'll love, tho'he is unloved,
and he'll serve tho'badly used,
And one kind word will wipe away the times when he's abused.
Altho' his heart may break in two,
his love will still be whole,
Because God gave to every dog an understanding Soul.

10 Commandments For A Responsible Pet Owner
1) My life is likely to last 10 to 15 years (rarely 18 years). Any separation from you will be very painful.
2) Give me time to understand what you want of me.
3) Place your trust in me - it is crucial for my well being.
4) Don't be angry with me for long, and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainment. I HAVE ONLY YOU !
5) Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I understand your voice.
6) Be aware that however you treat me, I'll NEVER forget it.
7) Before you hit me, remember that I have teeth that could easily crush the bones in your hand, but I choose not to bite you.
8) Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, I've been in the sun too long or my heart may be getting old and weak.
9) Take care of me when I get old. You too will grow old.
10) Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say "I can't beat to watch it" or "Let it happen in my absence". Everything is easier for me if you are there.
REMEMBER, I LOVE YOU.

I STOOD BY YOUR BED LAST NIGHT
I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep. I could see that you were crying, You found it hard to sleep.
I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear, "It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."
I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea, You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at the shops today, Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care.
I want to reassure you, that I'm not lying there.
I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said "it's me."
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.
It's possible for me to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew, in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning and say "good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out ... then come home to be with me.
