He never came to me when I would call
Unless I had a tennis ball,
Or he felt like it,
But mostly he didn't come at all.
When he was young
He never learned to heel
Or sit or stay,
He did things his way.
Discipline was not his bag
But when you were with him things sure didn't drag.
He'd dig up a rosebush just to spite me,
And when I'd grab him, he'd turn and bite me.
He bit lots of folks from day to day,
The delivery boy was his favorite prey.
The gas man wouldn't read our meter,
He said we owned a real man-eater.
He set the house on fire
But the story's long to tell.
Suffice it to say that he survived
And the house survived as well.
On the evening walks, and Gloria took him,
He was always first out the door.
The Old One and I brought up the rear
Because our bones were sore.
He would charge up the street with Mom hanging on,
What a beautiful pair they were!
And if it was still light and the tourists were out,
They created a bit of a stir.
But every once in a while, he would stop in his tracks
And with a frown on his face look around.
It was just to make sure that the Old One was there
And would follow him where he was bound.
We are early-to-bedders at our house -- I guess I'm the first to retire.
And as I'd leave the room he'd look at me
And get up from his place by the fire.
He knew where the tennis balls were upstairs,
And I'd give him one for a while.
He would push it under the bed with his nose
And I'd fish it out with a smile.
And before very long He'd tire of the ball
And be asleep in his corner In no time at all.
And there were nights when I'd feel him Climb upon our bed
And lie between us,
And I'd pat his head.
And there were nights when I'd feel this stare
And I'd wake up and he'd be sitting there
And I reach out my hand and stroke his hair.
And sometimes I'd feel him sigh and I think I know the reason why.
He would wake up at night
And he would have this fear
Of the dark, of life, of lots of things,
And he'd be glad to have me near.
And now he's dead.
And there are nights when I think I feel him
Climb upon our bed and lie between us,
And I pat his head.
And there are nights when I think I feel that stare
And I reach out my hand to stroke his hair,
But he's not there.
Oh, how I wish that wasn't so,
I'll always love a dog named Boo!

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Years ago I had a job translating Classical Greek literature into Braille. It feels like ancient history now…

Glad to see your sense of humour is still intact.
Here's hoping ...

A touching tale indeed!

"Do not touch" in Braille?
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

There was this guy who was so near-sighted that he recognized girls by the Braille method.

Does he give classes in that ?

Dot's one way of looking at it, but it's really a Hellenic of a way to put it.

Okay, I officially declare that Griff is back.
I think I speak for many in saying that it is a good day.
I'm retired. There's a nap for that...

Significant weight loss guaranteed, or your virus back!
Noticed today that my fingers looked thinner than normal, and my wedding ring slid off very easily.
So, I weighed myself. Last time I did that was 24th April (before I got this) and I registered as 74.4Kg. Today ... 69.5Kg - Five kilos in under two weeks.
So far rapid weight loss you can see, get all your mates together and go have a barbie until you catch it.
What makes me laugh is that brings my BMI down to 22.7, which the means to NHS is describing me as "Healthy".
How am I doing? Not well - today's Surprise symptom is "Thick, solid, dark brown mucus" which if it continues is going to need a call to the doctor, as it's probably blood, and that's a bad sign.
O did manage to eat three small "biscuits-for-cheese" last night and kept them down, but nothing today, and it's been a week without coffee and that's not helping at all.

Yeah, clotting in the lungs is definitely a thing with Covid-19. You or Herself start having any trouble breathing, don't wait. GO! My Mrs. is slowly getting over her blood clots.

Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!
