Saying Goodbye To My First Dog

Recommended Posts

Up here in Montana we cowboys take our dogs pretty serious. I had a female Border Collie / Blue Healer bad ass that went everywhere and I mean everywhere with me for 13 years. One of the hardest things I have ever done was to put her down. The first and only poem that I ever wrote was for her.

From south of Chinook came a dog named Sadie.

Some thought for sure come straight out of Hades.

Border Collie "Ninja" Blue Heeler she was.

Loyal to her master, whatever the cause.

From behind the Minnie House 3 black belts were ready to fight.

They all met their match, with the Ninja that night.

From some all she got was fear and reject.

For sure the one thing she got from all, was respect.

As I ride down the many trials of life,

The memory of her in my heart, it cuts like a knife.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust,

She was to one, always to trust.

Tho they say dog is man's best friend,

Sadie I loved until the end.

Now my dear Sadie you're gone, you are free.

And so from behind every rock, every tree,

There she is always to watch over me.

It's been over 10 years and I could hardly rewrite this poem. My heart goes out to you.

Sorry to hear about your loss. A pet is part of the family. I had a very difficult time taking my first dog to the pound when he could no longer stand and just layed and cried. Had the same reaction recently when my roommate's cat died. Great cat even though I prefer dogs.

I'll never forget my first dog. Bacchus. Named after the god of wine and revelry. Caught it on morning as a pup with a bottle of Guinness. He had good taste.
