Is your dog afraid of strangers? Would he rather hide than play with other dogs? Does he take cover at the sound of thunder, or cringe when you pick up a brush or nail clippers? Never fear!
A Beautiful Poem
Nicole Wilde | Thu, 09/20/2007 - 19:17
I just got back from the Australian APDT (Association of Pet Dog Trainers) conference, at which I was keynote speaker, met lots of wonderful Aussies (the two-legged kind), and had a great time. Part of the speaker duties included judging a contest which consisted of a number of displays on the theme of senior dogs. Entries could include photos, text, and pretty much whatever the contestants wanted, so long as the entries were on topic. One included the following poem by an anonymous author. I found it very touching and thought some of you might enjoy it as well.
We Have a Secret
We have a secret, you and I
That no one else shall know,
For who but I can see you lie
Each night in fire glow?
And who but I can reach my hand
Before we go to bed
And feel the living warmth of you
And touch your silken head?
And only I walk woodland paths
And see ahead of me
Your small form racing with the wind
So young again, and free
And only I can see you swim
In every brook I pass
And when I call, no one but I
Can see the bending grass.
