The smile of your eyes
the warmth of your kiss
your speedy full tail 
waved sunshine and bliss
You were always so happy
so filled with glee
You danced the circles 
for everyone to see
The life of a breeder 
not always so lucky
Our tears and attention 
may not save the puppy
You came to us ailing 
not well we could see
Our efforts not enough 
long life not to be
You smiled and then left us
we’re broken in pain
A piece of our heart 
now gone with your name
We huddle the rest 
our pack in their den
With hope for tomorrow
it won’t happen again
The sadness behind us
new joy now in sight
A new life in hand 
oh please get it right
The circle continues
we all play our parts
It’s a gamble, not a game 
because we all risk our hearts.
