These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Bruhni

My precious friend, and dear, dear dog.
So many years with us.
Today, we drank the bitter grog
of Death's untimely thus.

We left you on the vet's cold bier,
so still in nevermore.
Now, wet my eyes from many a tear
in memories of before.

Your faithfulness to each of us
is treasured in our hearts.
Our tousled thoughts are in a muss,
rememb'ring all our starts.

Dear "Bruhni Bell," you'll e'er be missed,
until we meet, again,
if that's God's Will in lasting Bliss
as everlasting friends.
