I haven't been on trpd for a while, but some of you might remember me posting about our friends English Bull Terrier POD who used to come and stay with us regularly. Sadly POD had to be put to sleep a week ago today though ill health.
POD - With love from Sarah and Steve XXX
The rainbow called, your time had come to journey to the bridge
You've left behind Your Mummy Kaz, Young Ellie, Daddy Rich
While we, your 'weekend Mum and Dad', will miss you so much too
We know that we will always have our memories of you.
The way you loved to laze about-so much like lady muck
That when time came for fun outside you couldn't give a buck!
While Steve worked hard to build a drive, you sheltered from the sun
Not even caring to check up on how it should be done.
When evening came, you loved the couch... but Sarah liked to share
She had the nerve to sit with you, you moved her right off there!
Appearing to be sleeping but feet all poised to shove,
A final bullie 'gentle nudge' and Sarah'd had her love.
Another quiet evening when all sat calm and still,
A cloud arose, a stench so bad we swore that it could kill!
There you were all snuggled up so sound asleep we thought
But you had been and stole the treats that Father Christmas bought!
It wasn't always snoozing, we went camping, in a tent,
We had to hide our stock of crisps, though you tried to track their scent
We put them in our 'bedroom' and zipped it up real tight
But that didn't stop your sneaky raid in the middle of the night
You loved your rubber chicken like a mother loves her pup
You licked and fussed and snuffled it - but never chewed it up
Though you liked to eat and sleep and all but rule the roost
We really loved it best by far when you hit the 'bullie boost'!
When Dop moved in you tried so hard to get her to come play
You couldn't understand it when she sat so still all day
Well now she watches over where your earthly forms at rest
Sleep safe, run free, our Podica - you really were the best!
