Ruthie Mae
She’s as beautiful as a bay
She loves to play
She loves it when I tell her to sit and stay
She gets mad when I don’t say hey
She loves to drink lattes
She was born in May
She loves to run and walk on a beautiful day.
Golden fur like Autumn leaves
When we run together we feel the breeze
I’ll chase the dragonflies
She’ll chase the bees
She gives me her paw
when I’m on my knees
She gives me her paw
Then I know
She’ll be there with me through it all.
Ruthie Mae,
Ruthie Mae.
A lovely poem written by and offered as a gift from my sweet and dear friend about her relationship with and her love for my dog, sweet Ruthie.
“She gives me her paw when I’m on my knees. She gives me her paw, then I know she’ll be there with me through it all.” –by a girl who loves a dog!

Quite the talented writer, she captures the essence of their relationship as only the young can do. I think as we get older, we try too hard!
🙂
Tell her she made me smile today, and that is no small feat.

Thank you Ash. I must remember to tell her. Maybe I’ll print the few comments for her. I think her older sis helped a bit with her last line, but she loves Ruthie an incredible amount. She used to fantasize that I’d give her to her, but I think she knows this cannot be and hopes for her own dog one day. She had one, who she still loves, but it is a sad story. So I’m esp., glad she knows Ruthie!

Its a two-way thing and it seems that your little friend and Ruthie Mae have got the balance right LOL.. I so wish the rest of world would get its balancing act together…. Sending you much love and Peace.. I hope you have since rested from your midnightly prowls along to Dreamwalkers Sanctuary, And I hope you found some peace within its doors…

I’ll tell her exactly what you said. I know she’ll be proud. She is proud of her poem, rightly so :)! I agree that they are in tune and it’s very nice to see them together. My dog acts like a teenager when she comes over, like hey, my friend is here so could you please leave us alone. She stares at her the entire time and if I say her name, even when the girl is not here, my sweet dog goes hunting. I only say it when the girl is really here.
Thanks for your sanctuary. I enjoyed my time there, as always. Peace Dreamwalker… I hope you have a nice Mother’s Day too.

Hi Ruthie, Glad you liked this poem. I wish now I had reprinted it and made it look better for her. It seems so sweet as it is. I’m still quite tired. My time of rest has been rather stressful but with intermittent periods of resting. Thank you. Hope you are doing well.
With many well wishes,
dogkisses.
