Dustin’s Rowdy Ranger by Mike & Jesenia / Your Family

Ranger Danger of Labrador Retriever
Pick up the ball and he got the fever
With a bark that could shatter eardrums
And a snout that could dispatch food crumbs
He stole our hearts like all dogs will
And set the record of highest vet bill.

A dog so full of energy and love
He looks down on us from up above
For we lost him on a fateful day
A day I knew would come someday
But not so quick and not so soon
I got the word just after noon.

I’ve never felt a loss so deep
With leash in hand on knees I weep
My pup has left a gaping hole
As empty as his favorite bowl.

I keep expecting to hear his feet
Click and clack his nails beat
But there is silence and nothing more
No whining beyond the back garage door
When tears are falling a lot like rain
Even Mocha can feel our pain.

Ranger Danger of Labrador Retriever
You won our hearts and gave us the fever
Forever in our hearts you will rest
Just know that yes you were the best
Rest in peace my faithful friend
We will always love you with no end.

 

RIP My Friend
