A grey fog seeps

Into her glassy eyes

Tracing me as I pace

Back and forth

Tail flicking



I look into her

Clouded brown eyes

She blinks at me

I slide to the floor



I pat the place next to me

She rises sluggishly

And waddles over

She nuzzles into my side



I glance at the clock

Tick Tock, Tick Tock

I wonder how many more

Tick Tock's of the clock

She will hear

The author's comments:
"I wrote this about my 12 year old dog. Although she is comparatively older than me, she's my baby. She has been around since I was a toddler, and I love her to death, but she is getting really old, and going blind.
