Targa

From the moment I saw you at the Humane Society
in New Hampshire, I knew we were meant to be together.
Such a sweet, soulful face,
and a spirit ready to take on life's many adventures.
We went through so much together,
and you were always there,
uncomplaining and supportive.
You weathered seven moves
and anything else life handed you
with such dignity and grace.
Your last few years were fraught with health problems,
but you met each challenge head on
and we learned by your example.
I'll always love you best, sweet girl,
and I will see you again one day.
For now you will stay forever in my heart.
