A Tribute to Lady

Trying to save a puppy

a rescue under way

her breed is not apparent

border collie mix?

Dog pound calls a rescue group

a sheltie mix they say

likely not, to save her life they take her anyway.

Several re-homes later, still a misfit dog

She loves too much, her human beings

Will Prozc takes off the edge?

She is a self-mutilator, life is just too hard

No rescue group will take her, no family can endure

A very wounded Lady, cannot be left alone

The writing's on the wall, her time on earth almost done

Is it mercy or selfishness to send her to the Bridge?

Oh the anguish, oh the tears, oh the heartache, oh the tears

Our sad sad eyes connect while lying on the floor

Dog is God spelled backwards, her eyes say let me go

I love you Lady, you're in my heart; you died in loving arms.
