He’s not under the bed!
No
he is not
in the
yard
either
Honey,
he is not in the garage
or the car
or on the couch
or
eating
He died!
For God’s sake
you
have to
accept
it
He
passed away
Sorry!
I pretended to
understand
Pretended
to
agree
In
fact
went throughout
the work
day
and accepted
all
the very
kind expressions
of
sympathy and
support
from friend
co workers
and
colleagues
Buddy
(I whispered)
they
don’t realize
you’re
still
here
and
I am
not
going
to
tell
them
It will
be
our
secret
His tail
wagging
he
barked
(several people
looked up
rather
startled)
Just my stomach
folks!
