This is dedicated to Madonna and the dogs in our lives, past, present and future - Sue Vogt

Sleeping on your mats, toys before you on the floor

Your doggy lives stretch out in measures of days

Long and oh to short

 

The joy you bring breaks hearts

Changes lives

 

Makes us kinder

Sadder

 

More connected perhaps to the present

More convinced perhaps

of heaven

For what are you but a gift

A flash of play in a world of work

 

Unconditional love

In a universe of rules

 

A sloppy smooch

A paw print on a shirt

A woof in the dark

 

Then you steal away

With our souls

Phyllis, Ken, Sue say goodbye to Puppy Madonna 8/18/09-7/31/2010

 

Somewhere sometime long ago I read a story credited to  an old American Indian Legend.  It spoke of the Creator walking through his fields and streams, deep rich green  forests held together by shadowed  valleys but still the Creator God was lonely. And so it  occurred to him to make himself a dog.

 

That is when he created my Aussie Madonna. He softly blew into her the Spirit of  Life. He held that puppy close to him and watched her splash in streams and run through his forests. Yet as he looked at her  he saw that she needed even more than His company. So  He made me. Yes, He pulled me up on the potters wheel like a potter forming a clay pot. He did this in the same way He created puppy Madonna. He softly blew into me the Spirit of Life and set me free.

 

He looked at His  puppy Madonna and said to her, "now you will have a playmate. Go and enjoy him." And she did. She enjoyed me so very much. Together we learned to skateboard on the 7 mile bridge. We pleasured each other beyond belief.  We were so pleasantly foolish together.

 Yet one day the Creator God was overwhelmed with not only  the beauty of His  creation but  a haunting loneliness unfathomable by man. He  wished to have her company again. So He called Her  back to Himself. He called her name, spoke it only once and she died into Him..

 Now it is my time to be lonely and her time to comfort the Creator. Somewhere, someplace He is pulling her through time as she rides a skateboard guided by His loving hand.  She is not alone.

She succumbed to an extremely aggressive infection. We exhausted all medical possibilities. Dr. Mike Dunn gave her every conceivable act of care and compassion.  Phyllis was on the phone, with Ken, Sue and Mike during Madonna's last moments.
