That poem is one of the most beautiful things I have ever read! I have a nine year old that just survived his second life saving surgery. Some of my extended family looked at me with wide eyes when I told them what the surgeries had cost. They just don't "get it". Every single penny is well spent if I can have this dog for a few more years. He is one of the great loves of my life.
