From the Author
Dear Reader, This book is for those who share a love and concern for all animals. Anyone who has ever loved and lost an animal companion knows the incredible pain and feeling of emptiness. Poochie, my pet rabbit, died suddenly, at five years of age. As you read these poems, you will wish that you had known and loved her, as I had the great privilege to do. Poochie is every dog, cat, bird, horse, rabbit, ferret, hamster, guinea pig, or other animal that you have loved and lost. She lives in my heart and in every animal that I will love after her. I hope that this book can be a close friend to you and a source of comfort that will help you through the pain of losing a pet. Emily
