IN MEMORY
SILVER DOLLAR JACKPOT

"Jackpot", my rambunctious pup

gained dignity as he grew up.

A massive head, a gentle look--

one big hug is all it took

to love this guy who knew no fear.

Though now he's gone, I know he's near.

 

He's been the best, my first "bred-by".

Time went so fast and now I cry.

 

I yearn to cuddle him once more

though I cannot for there's a door

That he's passed through to wait for me.

He is now in great company.

 

For now, I feel the sting of pain

but someday I'll kiss his sweet face again.

"Jackpot", my beloved pup!
