Trixie the Border Collie

I had little doggie once

she easily stole my heart

sixteen years of loyalty

Her death tore me apart

Followed us to the beach

Sleeping always by my bed

Camping in the swamp

Obeying everything said

A beautiful border collie

A kind and loving nature

A real people person no

She could never hate cha

She saw my first cigarette

Was there at my first kiss

Came with me waging school

There’s not much she missed

She was my best friend

I loved her like a brother

She used to lick my wounds

And loved me like a mother

I’ve only had two other dogs

By then I was full grown

Trixi was my first love

The best dog I’ve ever known
