Both of us knew we’d be friends from the start,
But, sadly, today we had to part.
I’ll always remember the first day we met,
You were my friend and my shadow, not just my pet.
It’s been so hard just to get through today,
I have to keep reminding myself you’re in a better place.
Meeko, I’m so sorry for the times that I got mad…
You were just a doggy, I’m so sorry, wish i could take it back
I don’t know when I’ll get used to you not being around,
I took your presence for granted, now you’re not to be found.
I know you’re in heaven, saving me a seat…
Please say ‘hi’ to Scooter, Duffy, and Pete.
In loving memory of my guard dog and shadow
*MEEKO*
