The trouble with
dogs is
they leave us
far too soon.
And,
unlike people,
they are
irreplaceable.
Her eyes behold
the key to my soul,
sold the day I
brought her home.
The day
she chose me
felt like all my
Christmases,
come at once.
I don’t know
if she realized
how much I
would miss her.
Sadness overwhelms
my eyes
because they
cannot see her.
I hope that
she knew,
she gave me
the best days
too.

About the Author
Laura is thirty-something and was born and raised in a ‘blink and you’ll miss it’ village in rural England, UK. She emigrated to the USA a little over two years ago, married the love of her life in her dream Las Vegas wedding, and now resides in Los Angeles, California with her husband, in a little shack by the beach.
Laura believes that animals have the best souls, and dreams of a day where extinction is extinct. She hates suffering of any kind and is a gentle soul. She is the oldest child she knows and still believes in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. She is yet to stroke a unicorn, talk with a mermaid, and hunt for vampires, but these things are on her bucket list. Laura has faith in the power of prayer, is convinced that tiny miracles happen countless times a day and believes in magic. She finds witchcraft intriguing and would like to bottle sunshine to cure gloomy days. She is a compulsive bookworm and will not leave the house without her kindle.
