Just re visited this poem l wrote when l was chatting to meandmine
We had a beautiful Springer called Trinket, she was a lovely lovely girl, and it broke my heart when she went to the bridge.... so much so that I said No More dog's it's too heartbreaking, I can't go thru this again ( obviously I was very upset at the time ), we lasted 18 months until this......
GUESS IT WAS MEANT TO BE
Was late one evening, in the middle of the week
A phone call came, for a home they did seek
A Puppy called Tobi, so sad but true...
Who was no longer wanted
Now what should I do ?
See it was 18 months now, since my heart got broke
And "Never Again" were the words I spoke
So to the caller I said, leave it with me..
I will give it some thought, and get back if we agree
Well late on Friday that call came again
What had we decided, did we want him or not ?
As when Saturday comes, that's his lot
If we didn't take him, it's off to the pound..
We are very sorry, but we can't keep him around
Saturday Morning a car pulls up
I can see the people, but where was the pup ?
As they all climbed out, my heart missed a beat
Up popped this little face, oh my word, you looked so sweet
So off to the kitchen, for a cup of tea
With Tobi in tow, running merrily
Off into the lounge he instantly fled
And up against my couch he cocked his leg
The look on my face was a picture to see
But, I'm still thinking... Is this meant to be ?
So over a cuppa, we talked about you that day
And decided your here now, so you may as well stay
Thanks for blessing our lives for 10 years Tobi xxx
