Hi Amy, thank you. It means a lot to me that you like it. I didn't send this one out to everyone because it's quite personal. I'm so glad you watched it. Take care hon. Dan =:)
Thank you for your lovely comments. I still love my dog greatly and it's never been the same without him. I'm glad you could draw something from this. Dan =:) P.S. One thing I definitely can't do is give birth! =:D
Hi LizBiz, it really was hard to express what I feel about losing my dog, but it's wonderful to receive lovely comments like yours. It helps me to know that other people can understand what it's like. Love and hugs. Dan =:)
Thank you so much. I totally agree about animal's souls. It's amazing how much love an animal can show, without ever buying you a birthday present or a box of chocolates. Dogs seem to show their love in a deeper way, as if they're an open book and all the pages read affection =:)
Hi Dave, thank you. I'm so glad you could draw something from this. The unconditional love a pet can give you is something that's impossible to forget. I'm sorry you lost a friend, but I'm glad you can remember them. I'm sure there are lots of happy memories. Take care my friend. Dan =:)
So sad Dan. Once things settle down a little, I'll be back with an ETA for you. I'm glad it will be awhile before I get to this one since I need to really think about how to handle it.
Thank you kindly A.D., I'm sure Atomic will do me justice! It's really nice to be able to share these kinds of emotions with friends on here. Things like this can be raw for years, even a lifetime, but it helps to express it. Cheers man. Dan =:)
Hi wolfgangle, it's lovely what you say about the soul never dying. I firmly believe that too. I do hope I will meet Ozzie again when I die. Squirt sounds like an incredible spirit also. There's something about certain animals that lets you see something beyond what we know. I am so pleased you are one of the ones who understands that. Thank you my friend. Dan =:)
Thank you Samantha. It was pretty hard to recite without getting too emotional, but I'm glad I did. It was nice to make a little tribute for him. He really was an amazing animal, so loving. Kind regards. Dan =:)
Thank you so much. I think he was happy because he was always wagging his tale! I guess past friends never really leave us. He was a great pet for sure. Kind regards. Dan =:)
Aww, thanks for the 5. It's always hard to bring up hard memories, but it's great to read your lovely comments. You're so very caring. Kindest regards. Dan =:)
Dannn.. wow, your talent is really beyond description. I think that creating poetry is completely different from writing a song, and you can do both! Amazing brotherr! ♫ Tom
Aww, thank you Melissa. A virtual hug will suffice for now =:) It did bring back memories to read the poem. It's like pangs of happiness and sadness all mixed into one. I'm so grateful to have grown up with Ozzie. He really was my best friend for all those years. I miss him greatly, but he's still with me, I know it. Many thanks for your lovely words. Dan x
He was a cross between an alsation and a corgi! The logistics of the breeding astounds me! He was as large as a regular alsation but had the large corgi ears. I'm sorry for your losses. You seem like such a caring guy and I'm sure you were very good to them. Kind regards man. Dan =:)
Thank you, your words mean a lot to me. I believe in the spirit living on through memories, so he will live forever. Kind regards to you my friend. Dan =:)
I'm am sorry you've lost a friend as well. You're right though, happy times are what I remember the most, like the time he got his head stuck in a gate, then I got my head stuck too while trying to get him out! There are many many more happy memories than sad ones. It's nice to be able to share our thoughts. Thank you my friend.
Aww BRENBREN, I'm sorry you lost your cat. It's a horrible thing to lose a pet. That feeling never really leaves you does it? It just hits me every single time I think about him. You're a great person Brenda. Thank you. DANDAN =:)
Hey Martha, hug your dogs from me too! It is sad that they won't always be there, but I'm sure you'll love them always. Thank you for your kind words. You are a lovely person and deserve to win the Cute Couple award for sure!! Take care. Dan =:D
Aww, thanks Moomay. It's great that you like it. I'm sorry you lost a dog too. It warms me to hear how many people have experienced a similar thing. It's wonderful to know that other people in the world understand this kind of loss. Take care my friend. Dan =:)
Hi Isodig, the larger breeds seem to have these genetic problems. My dog had breaks all through his spine due a genetic condition.. You must have really loved your dog. I bet 15 years doesn't feel that long when you care so much. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't change a thing. I'm just glad I got to know him while he was here. Take care man. Dan
Hi Karla, it was hard to recite the poem because of the memories it brings back, but it's been really nice to share my feelings. Thank you so much for your kind response. Dan =:)
I'm really sorry to hear that your dog had to be put down. Thank you for your regards man. It was eight years ago now, but it feels like last week, you know. Kindest regards. Dan
Hey TomSter, thank you so much man. I've always written poetry but it's taken me a while to feel confident about sharing it. Poems and songs are different for sure. I'm more confident about poetry than songwriting in a way, but I guess it's just coz I've done it for longer. 'Feral Child' made me realise that it might be okay to share the more raw and emotional things in life. Thanks for helping me with that. You're a great ToMster, TomSter! DanSter =:)
Hi Bill, thanks man. I really appreciate your thoughts. I pray things settle down for you soon and I look forward to the portrait when you're ready. Don't worry how long it takes. I'm just glad to be on the list! All the best. Dan =:)
Hi Cindy, I'm sorry to hear about Buster. I'm sure you'll always miss him. The love of a pet is very strong and will always be there. Thank you for your kind words. You're obviously a very compassionate person. Take care. Dan =:)
Hey Fiery, he was a brilliant friend to me, with a real quirky personality too! I was there when they put him to sleep, which I believe helped me to let go. I'm sorry you lost your dog. It's something that will be with us both forever I'm sure. Thank you so much for your kind words. You're a great friend. Dan =:)
Aw, Dan.. I'm not even sure what to say here.. That was beautiful. Reminded me of when my dog died. She was such a beautiful dog. Your dog looked a bit corgi, makes since he was a cross between a corgi and an alsation. I bet he was a wonderful friend. You can't forget them can you? Sorry it hit you like that, it's an easy wound to reopen, but I'm glad you shared with us. - Fiery
Aw, I'm sure he was. And a quirky personality too? Wow, pets really are like their owners, haha. Thank you, Dan. Her name was kind of odd so I'm leaving it out lol, but she was a good friend. No problem, Dan. I'm glad I'm a good friend to you ^_~ - Fiery
Hey Ahmed, thank you very much man. I had no idea I would find it so hard to recite it. It brought back all the memories. I hope everything is good with you man. Dan =:)
Hi FiReaLuv, you're right for sure. I have so many good memories of him, like when he used to jump up on my lap like a cat but he was a huge dog! I'm sure there's a place where they go. I pray I'll see him again, but even if I don't I have the time we spent together. Thanks man. I very much appreciate your words. Dan =:)
Haha, yes I'm calling you quirky, Dan. lol you both got your heads stuck in the...? XD Amazing, simply... amazing. (*thinking "he went back to calling me hon..."*) Take care, - Ash
Hey Atomic dude, that's exciting news budd! I'm really looking forward to seeing the portrait. Thank yee muchly in advance =:) I hope all is well with you and the Karlarina. Laters, my favourite Quick Drawin' Excellent Person! Dan =:D
Fiery, are you calling me quirky?! I'm really flattered =:D Ozzie got his head stuck in a gate when I was pretty young. When I tried to get him out I got my head stuck in the gate too! It was so funny! So yes, he was just as quirky as me, which is a hard to achieve! Take care hon. Dan =:)
I'm posting number 24 tonight. Which means, you're next Dan! FINALLY!!! Woohooo, lol. I'll have to cycle once through the other series, but you are the next object/poem portrait.
Hi Amy, I'm okay now thank you. There is still sadness over losing him, but the joy he gave me is the thing that lasts. He brought me such happiness. I'm sure you love your dog very much. Making the most of your time together is the best way to be. I wish that dogs lived as long as humans, but the love they show you will last forever. Take care. Dan =:)
I'm sure you'll get more votes! Thank you for hugging your dogs from me. If I was there I'd stroke them, but you'll have to be my ambassidor. Speak soon. Dan =:D
Hi Ash, sorry for calling you that dreaded term again. I just can't remember not to use it! D'oh! Well, I guess I am a quirky fella, which is the best way to be of course =:D

Oh Daannnn...:( I wish I could give you a hug! You poor thing! Just seeing your sweet face get all teary made me want to cry!
Thank you so much Belle, you're such a caring gal. The memories of all the good times comfort me when I feel sad about it. Speak soon missy. Dan =:)
Aww, thanks for the 5. It's always hard to bring up hard memories, but it's great to read your lovely comments. You're so very caring. Kindest regards. Dan =:)
I agree. It sounds like you understand too well. If you've lost a pet I imagine you'll always feel their presence. I know I do.
Great poem! The dog was beautiful!

Hi Ashigaru, thank you very kindly. Dan =;)
Yeeeeey!! I wanna be in the Quirk Club!! You're the president of the club, right? =:D
Hahaha, I'm sure it will be. =]
A video? I look forward to it. Thank you in advance =:)
P.S. I've added you on msn
Well Fiery, you're pretty quirky yourself (In the best way possible!). We should form a Quirky Club!! Wahoo!! =:D
lol, could be. How about you're the vice president of the club til we get more members? =D
Well, at least not yet... I hear new advances in science are... advancing n' stuff, so maybe one day.. you never know!
Hi Ash, sorry for calling you that dreaded term again. I just can't remember not to use it! D'oh! Well, I guess I am a quirky fella, which is the best way to be of course =:D
Sounds like a plan m'dear =;)
Or maybe rats... Hmm...
