When I Couldn’t Keep Up With My Young Dog …

… when my old dog moves so slowly, when I want to leave him behind,

I think of all those years, thousands of miles by now,

when I couldn’t keep up with my young dog,

and he always waited, never left me behind.

Very sweet poem. Makes me think of Zoey. She was such a fireball when she was young. You can still see it in her eyes but her body can't keep up anymore. At least she's happy. :)

This made me cry. An old dog is a very special dog. As you know.
