HIS NAME WAS "LUCKY"

Lucky, a Rhodesian Ridgeback / German Shepherd combo, a "Rescue Dog", owned by Anna's daughter, 
a teacher in South Korea. Anna has been caretaker-caregiver  for three years.  It is a hard day for her.

LUCKY

Everyone agreed it was best
For Lucky to have final rest.
Only age five
So alive
Too young to die
(sigh)

Cancer struck him down
In his leg bone found.
Fast moving, aggressive
He, never depressive
Just ran out of steam
(sigh)

So now he breathes his last.
It all happened so fast

In just over thirty days
Dirty cells had their ways
Yesterday, kissing him

Today.....missing himSO MUCH!

Oh, my....
LUCKY! (sigh)

Good-Bye.

  17. How sad to lose a beloved, loyal pet. I've been home from India since Dec 3, staying with my son, daughter-in-law, delightful granddaughter who will be a year old next month and my two granddogs who are so wonderful. I am always amazed that they remember me after my six month absences!!!

    1. RNSANE, thank you. I pretty well have igrated to Face Book, and have about a dozen Indian "friends" in that venue. From several cities, and even the islands off the SE coast, they have become "real" friends.

      India is a country I would choose to visit over anywhere else in the world...so I envy your trip there.
      Today, March 18, marks my 40th anniversary of being sober. I still go to lots of meetings. Blessings to all who might read this comment, and to YOU RNSANE!!!!

    God be with you, always.

    Blessings
    Margie
