Tyson
(Yes, he was a Boxer!)
My gentle giant,
Ninety pounds of fun and fur,
You kept me laughing.
Your silly smile soothed my soul.
You left pawprints on my heart.

This was a very sweet homage to your dog. And what sweet pictures!
Thank you so much! Tyson was my big 90 pound lap dog and I miss him dearly.
