An Ode To Jake

Jake, my dog, my schnauzer cross
Born so long ago
Black and scruffy, really cute
I really love him so.
I can’t describe how sad I feel
When he’s rushed to the vet’s
Because you see he’s very ill
And he keeps having fits.
And right now he’s just collapsed
I feel that it’s just wrong
Why did it happen to my dog?
He’s the best dog ever!
Why the hell did it curse him!?
I weep as I lose control.
I forget my rhymes in poem
I forget my stupid lines
I just want my dog Jake, the best dog ever
To get better, but I know in time
He’s old and I can’t love him like I wish to
He can’t run or play with me like he used to
I know that rather soon I may have to say goodbye
But I love him
And I do love him- I will cry
As I am now, wiping away my tears,
I don’t yet know where he is
Is he in the car, frozen and crying
Out for me?
Is he on the icy table?
Being prodded by the vet!
Such a perfect creature I have never met
As my dog Jake.
And so I write this Ode.
To The Greatest Dog Ever.
Jake.

Jake died that night. He had to be put down due to a catarax in both eyes that made him bang his head and cause a brain legion. He would not recover.

The greatest dog ever.
