I sit and wait and I hope to see a familiar face looking down at me,
I miss you and I'm feeling weak but I just can’t seem to think of sleep,
I sit and wait but you don’t come, I wonder why, what have I done?
Was I so bad at this great age, for you to give me up this way?
I’m old and tired, grubby and grey and I miss you every single day,
Please come back and take me home, I miss the life that I have known.
I was your friend for many years and you gave me up with out a tear,
The weeks they pass so very slow and other dogs they come and go,
I sit and wait so patiently, I am ever hopeful...please choose me.
I sit and watch and then I see, a friendly face she’s looking at me,
My heart it almost misses a beat, she hands me such a yummy treat,
She tells me how sweet and lovely I am, she tells me how much I look like Sam.
She misses her Sam, he died of old age and she needs a companion to brighten her days.
She is all I will ever need, she’s warm and loving and easily pleased,
and unlike you, she’s kind and giving, she’s made me see what my life was missing,
I knew nothing better than my life with you, how could I because you were all I knew.
She has given me a second chance a home to call my own at last, I will stay with her until the end, happy and warm with my best friend.

Barking Mad Poem
2001
Christmas time is almost here, it was a time that I once feared
For I was taken from my home and left to face a world alone
It was so cold, so very bitter it made me tremble as I remembered
The warmth of my bed and tasty food, a hug from him and gifts from you
A lovely pup was what they wanted, a Christmas bundle, so white and so perfect
They gave to me the name of Snow I was so proud but you’ll never know
As the year went on I grew and grew, from time to time I would chew a shoe,
Make a mess and wet the floor I even tried to eat the door
All this made you very mad, you shouted my name and said I was bad
You hit me with the chewed up shoe, I felt so very afraid of you
I did not like the changes in you and I started to fear your every move
Then one night, the next Christmas Eve, you called to me “Snow come here we have to leave“
You took my nametag from my lead, then took a long cold walk with me
I wondered where I was at times, but a new adventure is always fine
Your tied me to an icy tree and then you turned your back on me
I barked and barked as you walked away, but you never looked back you just ran away
So cold and weak after such a time, my memory faded and I knew not why
When I woke up I was warm and so toasty I looked all about and saw thing were so different
The room was full of Christmas smells, with soft gentle music and sounds of bells
I did not know just where I was but I felt happy, safe, warm and loved
I had been rescued from that tree, and taken in without a plea
My guardian Angel was sitting with me, just gently stroking and talking to me
He told me I was a special find and told me he would call me Shine
I rested up all through the night no cold, no Ice no shivers,
just warmth and comfort all around and smells which smelt delicious
Then I heard the sound of feet come thundering down the stairs
I wondered what it was at first and felt a little scared
I saw two little children heading for the door
all happy and excited, as they rushed across the floor
They looked at me and called my name and told me things will be ok.
Oh my heart was skipping beats, as they played and cuddled up with me
Then my Angel stood at the door with a lady at his side,
she called to me in a very soft voice and then she started to cry.
She threw her arms around me, as tears ran down her face
And told me she will love me, as from this Christmas Day.
Then I get a big surprise, A friend was sitting by my side
but this time she looks just like me, so fluffy and white and very pretty.
She licked my nose then ran away, she fetched a toy and asked me play,
we played and tumbled for all to see, a perfect happy family.
I feel so happy here today on the very best of Christmas Days.
