George was a stray. I found him, or sometimes I like to think he found
me. I had nine other dogs at the time, and George was the tenth. He
was at least four or five years old. I had him for five wonderful years.
In search of relief for your arthritic pain
I trusted what I read.
I gave to you the "Miracle Drug"
It took your life instead.
I love you George, and miss you so,
But promise you each day
I'll find the time to tell the world
Of the price YOU had to pay
Of how your strength and will to live
Just left you there to lie
In that cold cage in your own blood
Begging me to help you die!
You could not hold your head up
Your eyes and skin turned gold!
What that evil drug did to you
Was frightful to behold..
And I promise George til the day I die
Yes, I promise, that I will
Warn the world of how you fought and lost
The "Battle of Rimadyl."
(In loving memory of my Chocolate lab, George, who died October 13,
1997.)
