"Gypsy"

They say dogs don't have souls.
That's ok I guess.
Gypsy my 10 year old English Pointer,
can ride along with mine.
We know each other well
after so many years together.
Sometimes I wonder if she wonders
where the dogs and people
who have died have gone.
She never says anything about it.
She takes each day like
the new one it is.
She is just glad to be here.
She remembers and dreams.
She likes my nine year old Grandson Kody.
When he is here at the cabin
she is his constant companion.
She puts her head on my shoulder
and bats at me with her paws
telling me not to stop scratching her.
She likes her new highway 281 red leather chair
which is covered with her favorite soft blankets.
I wonder if she is ever lonely
without her old dog companions?
She tells me when she is not feeling well,
and always hates the trip to the vet.
Even as we get older
we remain alittle bit silly.
She reminds me everyday
we are fortunate to be here
to see the sunrise together.
