The moment I first saw your face, I fell in love with you. Looking off to the side, all I could see was your profile in the image, and although I looked at so many others, it was you I came back to. I wanted you, only you. A shy, timid little one year old … Continue reading Painful Choices
I wrote this poem shortly after my Midnight passed in August 2008. This is dedicated to my handsome Midnight: 1990 - 2008, he was a couple months shy of his 18th birthday when his organs shut down due to old age.

As I'm about to throw it out … Continue reading Doggie Bread
Whining sound to my left. I look down and Cleo's giving me a sad face. "You want toilet Cleo?" Still sad face *Sigh* "Ok, I'll let you out." I walk to the back door and turn around. Cleo's not there. She followed me in the loungeroom, and through the kitchen.. where'd she go? I peek … Continue reading I’m not that hungry

Eyes open barely long enough to keep … Continue reading Siesta’s End
