 Dakota posted this in his blog this morning. I wanted to share his feelings with the other tripawds out there.

A Tripawd's Love Poem
Â
My family's kind, my family's sweet;
They don't care I have 3 feet.
I think today they love me more
than the time when I had 4.
Â
They bought me lots of brand new stuff;
A pretty quilt with lots of fluff,
Some squishy food that tastes so good,
An ugly shirt that has a hood.
Â
I try to walk and then they help,
and now I hardly ever yelp
unless my sore place gets bumped hard,
or I fall down in my yard.
Â
I love my family 'cause they love me.
They even clap when I go pee!
I show love daily without fail;
I say it when I wag my tail.
From abandoned puppy to Tripawd Warrior Dude, Dakota became one of the 2011 February Furballs due to STS. Our incredibly sweet friend lived with grace and dignity till he impulsively raced over the Bridge on 12-15-12.
Dakota's thoughtful and erudite blog is at http://shari.tr.....pawds.com/
Love it.

This is so cool! I think it needs to be on a Tripawd greeting card with Dakota's pawdograph!

Dakota Dawg... you are proving that the talent lies in the Tripawd court - those Monkeydogs can only wish they could write a poem!

For Daisy (because I could eat you up, but in the good way):

Another Love Poem
Daisy, Violet, Daffodil, Rose
One has 3 legs and just enough toes.
Spotty, dotty, a beauty, a dish;
Smells so wonderful,
Like dead fish.

And Daisy's poem...well that's just perfect!
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly  January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
A poet in our midst. Who would have known?
Thanks for sharing.
Shanna & Spirit Trouble ~ Trouble gained her wings 3/16/2011, a 27 1/2 month cancer survivor, tail wagging. RIP sweetheart, you are my heart and soul. Run free at Rainbow Bridge.
The November Five - Spirits Max, Cherry, Tika, Trouble & Nova. 11/2008 - 3/2013 An era ends as Queen Nova crossed the Bridge.

Very sweet indeed. Thanks for sharing.

I couldn't begin to say how special Sammy is to us. Living and laughing with and loving this wonderful boy is priceless.
