My Shih Tzu

I played with you so much
I’m sad that we are so out of touch
I’m sad that I lost you in the fog
You were my favourite dog

You were fast
A highlight of my past
You were cute
I thought you were beaut!

You were black and white
You put up a good fight
You ran with your bum out
You always used to get out and about

The day you left us was grey
We never wanted you to run away
Your fate was sealed
The tyres squealed.

You were was a fussy eater
The family would never beat her
Even when she chased the street sweeper
I hope that someday I see her
Again
You were my favourite dog.
