For My Sheltie Sammie.
 
A burned in memory is your little red paw prints on the sidewalk

after a rain shower, from the Georgia red clay, the laughter of you playing with balloons on

the bed as I tapped them away from you. The way you never got up from the

backseat to hang out the window, like so many other canines often do. The

way you seemed to strain your brain, seeming to try and understand what

was being discussed. The fact that the morning you passed away and the

elderly lady next door asked how I was, my reply was 'it is not easy living

with a broken heart' and 6 years later July 4, it is not any easier.



For My Sheltie Sammie.
