IN LOVING MEMORYI woke up this morning and my shadow was gone.For 13 years I have had the honour of loving thisspecial being. Indy. He was brought into my life by sheer fate and it is hard for me to express the gratitude that I feel for his presence in my life. He has walked many roads, swam in many streams and lakes and has left his golden fleece in many homes. I have since realized that I am proud of his character,his behaviour , his attitude, the way he loved EVERYBODY (well, almost, his barking at the Publi-sac carriers is a testament to his dislike of needless flyers). I felt pride for witnessing within him the reflections of my ideals.He was a very precious and rare soul.
And thank you, Indy. Thank you for being in our lives.Thank you for every wag,every lick, every look. I willmiss the thudding of your tail as I approach, the unexpected thud as you timbered to the ground to sleep,your muffled barks as you slept, your smell, the softness of your ears. The void you have left goes deep but it is filled with the friends you have made,many happy memories and you have taught me many things, the most important being that pure love does exist. Rest now,be well BuddhaBear.

Nice, personal account of your loss.
Read the rest of your blog. Makes no sense to write other people's poems or stories. In order to be interesting, the blog has to be about you and your life. Your 'bio' re being 'difficult to live with' etc. Now, that's interesting. And will appeal to people. Try it out.
