She always wanted to go for a ride in the truck,
But most of all she loved it when we got to shoot a duck.
She retrieved almost everyone,
You could tell she had a lot of fun.
Being a Lab she was trained easily,
Sit, Stay, Heal were taught quickly.
She was naturally smart,
except for the digging part.
She behaved well and would mind,
Nearly perfect when in the blind.
But when at home she ignored my wife,
It appeared to be her way of saying that she was the real girl in my life.
She loved our daughter Ali and Ali loved her,
She watched over Ali who at times was her torturer.
Being only four years old, Ali didn’t know,
that on hot afternoons, dogs shouldn’t be tied to fence rows.
We watched her care for our old dog Annie,
She often licked her swollen belly.
We never thought that she would be the first dog to go,
But how were we to know?
I hope in time our hearts will heal,
We were not prepared for how her absence would make us feel.
On the mantle her stinky collar sits,
How I wish around your thick neck it still fits.
She was loyal,
And loved to please.
Never hesitating,
To jump in the water that was ready to freeze.
Oh the great times we had,
Hiding from harmless birds as if we were mad.
In her prime she started to peak,
And now she left us and our hearts have become weak.
Goodbye dear friend,
You will forever be missed.
Cassidy was your name,
and part of the family you became.
