In memory of the stinkest dog and the ultimate pizza thief: Lady ?? I remember the day Twelve years ago When my eyes met yours I felt for sure You were my baby And I was your mom And we were destined For an eternal bond I held you in my lap On the truck ride home You wore a red collar And your smile shone You were a little too thin But you fixed that fast When you stole a large pizza And got in the trash You were a wild girl Grinning from ear to ear, a fiendish terror You were a pig, a dragon, a fox, a deer, A stinky butt with the softest fur You were a car when you Wagged your tail down 8 mile (Beep beep!) You held up a line of traffic With a playful and devilish smile Yes, you were a bundle of energy Brimming with life It makes it that much harder now To say goodbye Your feet were so stinky They smelled like corn chips Your kisses were balm Even when you drooled from your lips You had little wet stars for eyes They glistened and shined You had a bottomless stomach of steel And an endless supply of begging and whines We spoiled you rotten, little pup You deserved every gift I realized that even more When you started to drift You were a cutie patootie and a chalupa. You worked hard for the money. You bark bark bark bark barked and Wagged your tail, Stinky dog, you stunk up the whole town. You had style and class and most importantly of all a wiggly ass. Your joy is still here, Bug. You live on in our hearts. And someday when we cross the Rainbow Bridge, I'll cry tears of joy when I can hold you again in my arms. Lady, I don't know when I will see you again, but in the meantime I promise to take everything I learned from our time together to be a better person and keep sharing your light with the world. You will always be in my heart, baby. I love you forever.
