Smokey
In the memory of you.
Smokey was black
lab with a
spot of grey.
That is the
reason for the name.
My friend got
you when you
was only couple
months old.
When you were
five years old,
you got a nasty
infection in your
right back leg.
They had to
take it to save
your life.
You was my
friends dog but
in away you was
mine too.
Smokey you was
nine years old
but your infection
came back again
in the same spot.
This time we had
to let go
of you.
My friend will
miss you all
the time and
I will miss
hearing you bark
when I was
at the door.
Goodbye boy have fun
in the big dog
park in the sky.
