ears ever alert,
eyes so watchful
fur so warm
heart so pure
intentions well ment
time well spent
my hero forever
I love you to bits
a long snout
protective fangs
thin white blaze
Your my best friend forever
your my pillow on a summer day
your the source of my happiness
your my little Lad
the best dog in the world
most handsome collie on earth
just know
that the memories we spent
will be in our hearts forever
So give me one last hug,
and let me stroke that head
and kiss on the nose just to savor a last second
I must return home
but I will love you forever
but never forget
I love you
and I will be back next summer.

I love you Lad.
