I Loved My Little Brother

I loved my little brother, just like I knew that he loved me;

From the moment that we got him, I was happy as could be!

Mommy was afraid I might reject him, for I was an “alpha” through and through;

But Daddy told her not to worry, that I would love him very true!

So he called up the Bichon breeder, that they had bought me from;

She said my doggie Mommy had birthed some puppies, and that weekend, we could come!

We went down there early Saturday, and when we walked into the door;

I saw my doggie Mommy standing, then to her side I tore!

Mommy and Daddy checked out all the puppies, while she and I gently played;

We left in about an hour, for a decision needed to be made!

We came back on Sunday morning, to select my little bro;

He was the feistiest of all the seven, chasing his siblings to and fro!

We rode home in the back seat with Mommy, him resting atop her lap;

I sniffed all over his little body, while he took a little nap!

We got home, and when we walked in, he and I ran around and played;

He gave me little puppy bites, then got tired and by me laid!

We decided to name him “Cody”, the last two letters of “Nico”;

He loved me very dearly, and followed me where e’er I’d  go!

I loved having a new friend and a Brother, to keep me company;

Each day I taught him all I knew; soon he was just as smart as me!

For twelve years we loved and frolicked, we never were apart;

But I developed a bad condition; that attacked my little heart!

One night I had to leave him, and rise to Heavens’ Gate;

Now I can see how much he misses me, my Brother, my soulmate!

I will be waiting for us to be back together, on the day he joins me here;

And we’ll never have to part again, he always will be near!

Then when Mommy and our Daddy’s time comes, they will rise to us above;

And we’ll be one big happy family again, eternally in love!
