This poem was supposed to be part of last week’s blog post, but I was having a hard time to get through it without crying. Still missing the little guy like crazy, but I did better this week.
So, here’s a little good-bye ditty Charlie wrote for Scamp.
Bark Park in the Sky
Scamp has gone, our little guy,
To that great bark park in the sky
Where walking’s not the daily slog
And dogs can finally be a dog
A park where you have just been sent
To bark until your heart’s content
Where every dog is runnin’ proud
The place is yours, no cats allowed!
At last, a land where you can be
As bad as you would like to be
Pee upon each other’s leg
And no one tells you not to beg
No more crate, no more leash
And no more stupid haircuts, geesh!
No more waiting for our kind
To pick up what you’ve left behind
No, you’re free to romp and play
With no one getting in your way
The promised land, where life is sweet
And no dog sits to get a treat
Will you miss us? Oh, perhaps
The thought occurs, during naps
But who has time for getting sad
When you’re so busy being bad?
That’s it for now. Catch you on the flip side!
