We are the ones who are there when you are down

We wait for you when youโ€™re not around

We know if you go out, you will always return

We lay by the window, and let our ears burn

๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ’™

When we hear your footsteps on the street

When you return, our lives become complete

When your car pulls up, we know it's tone

When you come inside, weโ€™re glad you're home.

๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ’™

Your hand on us comforts us as we sleep

Your presence is all that we really seek

Your life and ours have become so entwined

Your love it nourishes our hearts and minds.

๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ’™

We love for you, and we always try to show

A little lick, so you will know

We love you for all you do and for keeping us safe

We are the ones you canโ€™t replace

๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ’™

[A/n: There is nothing quite like the love of a dog. Especially when they greet you after you have been out. It is like you have been gone for years. I owe so much to my two little mates. They have done their best to keep me sane. (Not sure if it has worked!)]

Till next time,

Calvin

    A swell piece written especially for some very best friends!!

  • Very cute poem for your adorable โ€œGirlsโ€!๐Ÿ’–

  • I absolutely love this. I have 2 dogs so I know how special our pets can be. Love the picture. They're so cute!!!!!

  • This is adorable. I would say, the love of any pet, though, not just dogs. My Bunny gave me so much unconditional love that I can't begin to explain because not many would understand. The love of a pet is pure, sincere, unconditional, and unlike anything else. For me, it's the best love one can ever have. Congratulation on Top Story.
