With Eyes So Bright

So many people never get to enjoy the bond between “Man best friend” and themselves. I always kept dogs and as such I have developed great friendships with them for many years. They are all very different in demeanor, loyalty, physique and more. Some things are more memorable in them and may last as lifelong memories. Large breeds seldom live past 10 years and Frostie was going to be 12 this year. But this old man (95 according to our vet) was only a few days ago ready to destroy the potential threat of the MCTV man. Frostie died today at 3:10pm .  Frostie my faithful friend, Sep 10, 1998 to March 30, 2010

 

With Eyes So Bright

 

When my sister was overseas I thought I would get

Inu Akita in her favorite color, an all white pet

There was a guy in Bayland who had two to fit

He made me a high bid but I was satisfied with it

 

Eyes so bright were unusual for me

You would believe that they were white or a facsimile

Even though his spirit seemed bruised and he was a runt

Something said this was the dog for her right up front

 

So I left that day with a gorgeous little dog who

One day became like a best friend that loved us too

 

Bigger than his siblings and more apt to fight

Ready to guard an always keen to bite

In all this he was the most precious of dogs with a remarkable spirit

Getting his toy out the driveway that we wouldn’t have to move it

He knew steps ahead things we were intent to do

This true, loyal friend died today with eyes so bright it seems he knew

With Eyes So Bright

Tribute To Frostie

 

When my sisTer was overseas I thought I would get

Inu Akita in her favorite color, an all white pet

There was a guy in Bayland who had two to fit

He made me a high bid but I was satisfied with it

Eyes so bright were unusual for me

You would believe that they were white or a facsimile

Even though his spirit seemed bruised and he was a runt

Something said this was The dog for her right up front

So I left that day with a gorgeous little dog who

One day became like a best Friend that loved us too

Bigger than his siblings and more apt to fight

Ready to guard an always keen to bite

In all this he was the most precious of dogs with a remarkable spirit

Getting his toy out the driveway that we wouldn’t have to move it

He knew steps ahead things we were intent to do

This true, loyal friend died today with eyes so bright it seems he knew
