Old Yeller, Hooch, iconic dogs die
At least Sparky is resurrected by Michael
Would have given anything to be
A guardian angel for my Kali
That’s the human’s job, right?
Failed what should have been so easy
Why’d the Rat Terrier DNA kick in
When you were so laid back
Wanting to eat and play
Absorbing heat in your spotted skin
And loving it every day
Down the rabbit hole
Never to return
What called you away
What did you need to learn
Can hardly bear it
You left our pack forever
The dogs and I cry
You turned your back on the sun
Lost forever in shadows
Kali, my once Sacred Clown of comic relief
How do I manage overpowering grief
