How could we know this tiny, gorgeous pup,
a cheeky mass of gangly legs and ears,
would be a source of joy as she grew up,
and bring us so much pleasure through the years?
Why should our silly expectations sway
you from the better knowledge in your head?
The sheep were left to go their merry way,
it's more fun rounding chickens up instead.
Your pump was strong, the vet said, to the end,
but human ones are weak and prone to blight.
The loss of you, our loved one and our friend,
has torn our fragile hearts in two tonight.
Dear Misty, "Thank you" can't begin to say
the happiness you brought to us each day.

Author Notes
Misty had been bravely enduring a failing respiratory system for several months. Last night, she lost the fight. My heart is broken. Thanks for reading.
