Buried in the sand
I carried you one mile,
Your little body,
Wrapped in a dirty towel,
Lifeless,
Freshly dead,
Just three hours before,
We danced happy,
As the the sun set,
Colorful,
Drums beating,
My faithful little companion,
We adventured free,
Throughout the islands,
Blissful,
Best Friends
Will this emptiness always remain?

Author's Note
This is Booger. Tragedy struck Oct 11, 2019. A speeding car squished him and didn't even stop. He was my best friend. I buried him in his favorite spot to play. He adventured with me and was always happy; full of love. It's still very hard. I'm trying to stitch my heart back together, but some nights my dreams haunt me.

Thank you. I know pets are here to teach of love, caring, and losing loved ones. Grief is overwhelming sometimes. Thanks for reading and commenting.

There is alot to learn about human nature and animal instinct also. As I have recently experienced by bringing home a rescued Malamute who liked my entire coop of chickens The call of the Wild
