Is Peppers one of the dogs in the picture? I'm sorry to hear that about your friend... The poem is very moving and I hope that all goes as well as it can.
I can surely relate, my chocolate lab is 13 too. I have her on hip and joint medicine, and it seems to help. We went for a nice walk yesterday, and today she was limping. Have to give her some asprin to help the pain. So sad to see our sweet friends get old. My heart is with you knowing our animals are like family!

...but I do know this, poetry is a magical addition to life. It lifts the soul with words better than a song lyric. It activates the imagination with colors and sounds. It stimulates the intellect with astounding turns of phrase. Poetry is a quiet giver, deserving of love and respect ... JO Janoski

Harry,
Yes, she is the black and white one. We brought her home on St. Paddy's Day, 1995. It's hard to believe it's been 13 years.
Hi, Jo... my heart goes out to you. My little poodle, Carla, is 12 and I hear the clock ticking. I'm so sorry.
Thank you, Bob!
sorry for that bit of news--it is a moving poem/excellent word choices.
Hello Jo,
I can surely relate, my chocolate lab is 13 too. I have her on hip and joint medicine, and it seems to help. We went for a nice walk yesterday, and today she was limping. Have to give her some asprin to help the pain. So sad to see our sweet friends get old. My heart is with you knowing our animals are like family!
Jo, so sorry to hear that. I lost my miniature dachshund after 15 years and it was like losing a family member. So sad.
