I ...Oh, this is truly a delightful poem, Rosemary! I absolutely love it. I smiled throughout. This woman truly knows and loves dogs. Lots of favorite lines, but if I had to choose a few:<br /><br />"I taught my dogs to live in the moment<br />and when they die, if they die before me<br />I shall strap on my red collar<br />and go and rescue two more."<br /><br />Ha, but I don't know who teaches who to live in the moment. I think perhaps it is dogs who teach humans the importance of that.

She's funny without being silly,loving without sentimentality,lengthy without boredom. She wraps it up soulfully without making me sad.
