The Last Car Ride

You were such a little fellow
warm and fuzzy
with such big clumsy paws
and such a wet nose
that was always
in my face

You occupied your own
self-proclaimed spot
on the couch, and
we couldn't even have
a banana
without inviting you

My feet will be so cold
without your loving body
on top of them
warming me from
the bottom of my being
up to my heart

Your zest for life
was evident in that flag
we call a tail
eyes shining bright
always so full of beans
yes you were

Today we go into our car
and we will take you
to a new tomorrow
where your pain will end
and you can jump on "J" now

I want to thank you for
all the dander
all the spilled water bowls
all the crazy walks
but most of all
for loving me
unconditionally.

If there are no dogs in Heaven, I want to go where they go.

Love you Max

-----------------------
In my circle of friends, there exists a dog who was very much 'in your face', and has been for six years. Max got really ill at Christmas-time this year, and has not improved and is suffering greatly. So my dear friend was left with no recourse but to take Max for this last car ride. And I wrote this poem...

Max's favorite treat of all wasn't doggy biscuits, but bananas.... go figure!

    Ah god! Your friend must be gutted. What a lovely tribute.

    Sad poem. It's good to write a tribute, it made me feel better to do that for my Mabrouck too. Maybe your friend could write one too, if he/she likes writing? Your friend must be feeling so terrible. I am sorry for that, I know the pain.

    Kiz, was this your Max or your friend's Max? I'm sorry either way. It is hard to loose those four footed members of the family.

    I just knew when I read the title, the last ride, it would be about a dog. how sad.

    Me too. Sorry to hear about Max, those damn dogs just get right up in there and become part of the family don't they?

    That is so sad but such a nice poem. How cute. Bananas. I feel so bad for your friend. Such a sad thing to lose a pet like that, though.

    M-H: no, Max was a dear friend's doggy, but he thought he was "one of us" (well, which he was, really). I help out my friends in any way that I can ... and they do the same for me. And speaking of friends, thank you all so much for your kind comments. It was a rough day, but anyhow, I'll not dwell on it. Max is no longer suffering, and that is the key element here.

    Our dogs touch us many places along the way. Nice, and sad, but okay.
