And so it is,
that I can learn,
It's possible to laugh,
With a lump in my throat,
And tears can be hidden,
If you really try,
And the roles we play as masters,
Would earn more Academy Awards,
Than any actor knew.
I Love You Baby Girl

To Shelby
For all the time we shared,
And all the love you gave,
Now each night,
As I lay alone,
I think of you,
lying next to me,
And in my heart,
I say "Thank You" for being My Pup
And giving me the Best years
It's so hard to be strong,
When someone special leaves your life,
And it doesn't get any easier,
with practice.

You were so talented
You could shake with one paw then the other, could give us five, then give us ten, lay pretty, which wasn't hard for you to do at all And you could wink.
And so much more
I miss you so much Shel
Mama Loves You so so Much Shel

When the time comes
If it should be that I grow frail and week.
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then will you do what must be done, For this~~the last battle~~ can't be won.
.You will be sad I understand, But don't let grief then stay your hand,
For on this day, more than the rest, Your love and friendship must stand the test.
We have had so many happy years, You wouldn't want me to suffer so.
When the time comes, Let me go.
Take me to where my needs they'll tend, Only stay with me till the end.
And hold me firm and speak to me,Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will agree, It was kindness you do for me.
Although my tail it's last has waved, From pain and suffering, I have been saved.
Don't grieve that it must be you Who has decided this thing to do,
We've been So Close~~we two~~ these years, Don't let your Heart hold any tears.
