Dear old Cranky,
You have had a long life,
Sad to see you go,
but No More Suffering for you,
But yet you Live on in our hearts,
Old Duggie is what we called you at times,
your real name is
Cranky the golden Child,
Child you were at heart old boy.
The way you Chased those little critters up the trees
I remmeder those hot summer days where I would sit on the swing
And you would Join me and I would tell you of my day,
You would listen to all my troubles,
and in your own way of understanding you would lick my face.
Plus you made a Great Dance Partner even when there was no music playing.
And How you loved when we scratched your eyes and the sound you made when we did.
You made us laugh when you chased Merlyn my cat up the Tree
Poor Merlyn you made him turn around on the tree and his furr stand on end.
And also when you ran into the garden hoe and Broke it.
Old wise Dumb one, you had and IQ less than a Jar of Mayonnaise.
You are in our memories forever.
But it was Wrong of those people to Posion you!
they toke away our lovable old Dog!
We will Miss you,
Old Wise Dumb one.
