CALEB'S CORNER

Welcome to Caleb's Corner. The word Caleb means dog.This place is actually a crossroads so there are four corners. one road leads to companionship, another trust, the third is joy and the last is love. Dog's ability to love us despite all our faults is a lot like God's love. Hold the word God up to a mirror and what does it spell?  Did God give us these special companions as a reflection of his own great love for us. Here at the crossroads you will find my poems about dogs.

SIR WALTER WHO?

Who was that dog, what was his name?

Dog shows never brought him fame.

He had his faults, I must confide,

His head was just a trifle wide.

His two brown eyes were slightly light,

And that darn ear was such a sight.

His virtue far outweighed his vice,

A quality, that's always nice.

He was a friend to man and beast,

Great temperament to say the least.

His jet black coat was full and long.

His body sound, his muscles strong.

He single tracked, his top line straight;

Great reach and drive, a lovely gait.

We never put him in a show,

But that's OK because we know

He lived his life to fill one quest,

To please his people, to do his best.

He gave it all, his heart and soul.

There is no doubt, he met his goal.

My dream is someday we will see

His name behind some pedigree

Belonging to some famous sire

That set the collie world afire.

Then at last it will be clear

Just why we looked beyond that ear.

And all the world will finally know

Sir Walter, who we didn't show.
