Goodbye to my love Koji 02/07/2007 - 12/28/2018
While this blog might bring tears and sadness please know that he filled my heart with so much love. He was like me...a complicated soul. We both keep things deep inside in order to not hurt others. He could be a little stinker as his whole life was spent "guarding things". We even had to save special things for him to guard so he would not yip his high pitch tone over and over. Once we gave him a bag of chips or can of nuts he was good for the night. Homer our bulldog knew the rules. Even though they had some pretty intense fights they loved each other. They were like 2 brothers. I wrote this poem below this morning. I miss him very much and always will. He is my second "Hobo".~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

| Bart and Koji 2007 |
I loved you from day one and completely at the end,
I cleaned up after you as a puppy and then again at the end,
My heart burst with love when I met you and shattered at the end.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I felt your heart beat as a puppy
Fast and strong as could be,
Then the last day came and I held you
Until the very last beat.
I wonder as I turn to see your bed
Where did you really go,
but your soul... how am I to know?
I imagine you're with my other dogs
Hobo the first Bart the last,
Running in fields with them
And barking about the past.
Your pictures sit beside me
On the table by my chair,
I even have a lock of your beautiful
Shiba hair.
I think of you so often
That I forget you are gone,
My heart is filled with longing
But your memory will carry me on.
I know we will meet again
and shed lots of happiness tears,
For God loved me so much
That he let you stay for 12 years.
No one will ever take your place
For there is only one YOU,
Encased in my heart in a special place
Saved for the very few.
I can see you in my mind Looking at my face,
And I intend to keep that memory
Permanently in a safe.
Someday we will meet again
In that beautiful perfect place,
But until then I will continue
To remember your beautiful face.
Mama loves you Koji
With all my Heart and Soul,
Thank you for your years of love
And memories that never grow old.
Yes you were a difficult dog
Guarding bags of chips and containers of nuts,
But during it all we managed
To get through all the ruts!
I will continue to love you
In the past, present and future,
Please stay in my memory always
And keep watch over me till I hold you again.
In loving memory
Koji 2/2007 - 12/2018
