Furry Friends

When I first moved to France I had a Tibetan Terrier called Mindy. Although she was a pedigree dog she wouldn't have been allowed to enter Crufts because didn't fit into the Kennel Club standards. The reason being she had a brown nose! Mindy lived a long and happy life and was such a baby! This is her poem.

Little Lamb

Sleep softly little lamb
Beneath your quilt of green
Slumber gently, take your rest
Dream a little dream

Sleep softly little lamb
Your gentle ways live on
Lie down and rest a little while
Your race has now been run

Sleep softly little lamb
Your spring has come again
Eternal youth, eternal love
No suffering or pain

Sleep softly little lamb
What you’ve been waiting for
Lay beneath the starry skies
Dream on forever more

Sleep softly little lamb
You’ll never be forgot
The love you gave was endless
And we loved you such a lot

Sleep softy little lamb
So tiny as you curl
Beneath a tree in garden green
Our specially “good girl”

  Although the photo isn't actually Mindy it must be her double.

    Well I am not overly fond of dogs but I'd have taken to her without question or any hesitation ! David.

  She was a sweetie - as I said to Davidjohn the picture isn't actually Mindy but looks exactly like her.

I'm generally not keen on small dogs but make an exception for these as I know some one who has two of them which are, like yours was, absolute sweeties!

  I know exactly what you mean. I didn't really want a dog but am glad I changed my mind.

    It helps that I'm just a big softie when comes to pets, especially cats and dogs.

      There's no shame in that! They are less complicated than humans!

Moving poem -we do get attached to our pets don't we and they become part of the family? x

    Small white fluffy dogs are definitely very high on my AWW list, that's for sure!

she's has a lovely face. Bless her.

I had a labrador who had the best sense a humour I had ever seen in an animal.
