RIP little buddy

[wolfcub81]

Anyone that has been in my house has probably seen this poem on my wall. I am posting it here today in a tribute to Einstein who crossed over to the rainbow bridge today, 4/4/09. For those who don't know, both of my dogs are blind.

Einstein in front, Jimmy on the couch


I cannot see you Mommy, when you cuddle me so near.
And yet I know you love me, it's in the words I hear.

I cannot see you Daddy, when you hold me by your side
But still I know you love me when you tell me so with pride.

I cannot see to run and play out in the sun so bright
For here inside my tiny head it's always dark as night.

I cannot see the treats you give when I am extra good
But I can wag my tail in Thanks just like a good dog should.

"She cannot see. The dogs no good" is what some folks might say
"She can't be trained, she'll never learn She must be put away."

But not you, Mom and Daddy You know that it's alright
Because I love you just as much as any dog with sight.

You took me in, you gave me love and we will never part
Because I'm blind with just my eyes, I see you in my heart.
