Okay. This one made me want to cry :( Within a 2 year period, we had to put down my 16 year old cat (kidney cancer) and our 9 year old beagle mix (cushings disease). These precious animals were definitely members of the family.

This poem is one that many can relate to. I felt the author's emotions, as I slowly read each line. I enjoyed how the author expressed the special connection to the dog and the special qualities of the dog, making this an excellent 'Ode to Brody'.

Great choice of artwork; enjoyed the rhyme. Most importantly, my heart goes out to you.

A beautiful ode!

It's always a huge wrench when a beloved animal companion goes home. Your lovely and loving ode is a fitting farewell to Brody. "paw prints in my heart" is a beautiful phrase.

Blessings Julia

This is a very lovely and heart wrenching poem about your Brody! I love animals and it breaks my heart when something happens to somebody else cat or dog. You used very loving words and the art work you chose went so well with your words. May God bless you my friend!

    Thank You for your kind comments. Brody was my Best Friend's Beloved Companion. But He used to come near the phone to listen whenever I would telephone.

What a beautiful, heartfelt poem. It's so warm, emotional that it made me cry. Your great word choice allowed me to feel your love, your pain, sorrow on every line. I too have had furry babies that have left prints in my heart that will be there forever. Great job.

Brenda,

A beautiful tribute to man's best friend. It's a horrible, horrible thing when we have to put one down, but it's always for their best. Praying for your comfort. Hugs --

Congratulations on such a beautiful piece. A wonderful tribute to a wonderful dog. They don't call dogs mans' best friend for no reason do they? It's just such a pity the canine lifespan is so short!
