Phoebe, Our Springer Spaniel
Hey- she looked so small next to her brothers and sisters
And the box she slept in was much too big for her
But her heart was larger than any other
And she loved us with it every day
For fourteen years she was by our side
Chasing birds and squirrels and rabbits
Springing off our wall, a proud example of her breed
We will always recall her smile and her playful ways
Her restlessness and stubborn loyalty
Her sisters will miss her as we will
But we know she is in a flowered field
Under the sun
At a full sprint- ears flying behind her
A squirrel just out of reach
And she couldn’t be happier
Hey- we will never forget our beloved dog
