For Kelly

Our fights are now so petty,
Our good times are so grand.
You are my childhood,
Our friendship paw in hand.

Oh Kelly you're so pretty,
Please stay please stay,
Please stay my friend with me.

Oh Kelly my loving family,
Oh Kelly please don't leave.
Please stay please stay,
Forever my dear with me.

If you have to be going,
I understand I see.
But before so please stay,
Your heart always with me.

Please stay Kelly."

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Kelly was my first dog. She was a 14 year old kelpie who liked to chase magpies and eat apricots. I always used to say "I hate that dog she bites!" after I'd be teasing her first. She was a great dog and a fantastic friend who helped shape the person I am today. I wrote this on the 19.09.2011 one day while cuddling her on our swing chair. She died today (29.10.2012) in my Dad's arms. We had called the Vet to come and put her down but like always she never did anything on anyone else's terms, she passed away 3 hours before the Vet was due to arrive. Thank you Kelly for everything and I love you always XXX
