The Sweetest Sunday

It was the first time that you saw him, a sunny Sunday the middle May;

The most beautiful one I have ever experienced, I shall never forget that day!

Your Mommy was ultra worried, that your home you would not share;

That you would not accept another doggie, living with you there!

But I told her not to sweat it, for I knew my Nico’s heart;

You would cherish your new found Brother, and love him from the start!

So we went back down to your breeder, and picked a puppy out for you;

We chose the wildest of the seven, for you were feisty too!

Mommy held him while we drove home, you licked and kissed his face;

I heard a sigh of relief come from her, as her heart began to race!

We pulled into our driveway, then walked through our front door;

We put him down to play with you, off and running you two tore!

We had decided to name him Cody, after your name, our dear Nico;

For twelve years you were inseparable, where was one the other’d go!

I look at this priceless photo, from that “Sweetest First Sunday”;

Now that you’re no longer with us, these memories shall never fade away!
