KB's Awesome Annie Get Your Gun

​

My Sweet Annie Bananie

By Kathleen DeCampos

​

A term I use to address my beloved golden girl.

Though a year has passed, my heart aches and I still miss you.

I long to feel the touch of your embracing snuggle and see the look in your bright eyes.

My Annie Bananie, we had such a short time together, just one month shy of nine years.

You were the perfect golden retriever.

Obedient, good natured and loyal to the end with boundless energy, no one knew how gravely ill you were.

Your unconditional love brought me through difficult and challenging days.

I will always be grateful and feel blessed to have had such a sweet friend,

And know that God bestowed such a loving creature in my life for too many reasons to note.

You will always live in my heart

Until we meet again, My Annie Bananie!
