One of Ray’s Followers is Himali Shah ( www.decodinghappiness.wordpress.com ), and I recently received an email from her:
“A dedication to Ray“
You are a Ray,
A ray of sunshine,
To days so gloomy..
A ray of hope,
To life’s tough ways..
A ray of joy,
Spreading happiness and smiles..
A ray of friendship,
To my world so lonely..
A ray of love,
In a world so harsh..
Oh buddy when you look at me,
With your big brown eyes..
Oh buddy when you smile and woof,
You make me yours. .
With you, I feel home..
Oh Ray, you are my ray,
Of love and life.
How do I possibly respond to that except to simply say “Thank you”. If Ray had any concept of this, he would no doubt be very flattered and may (just may) be lost for words.
A New Direction Perhaps? 
Lexi’s Mom here: Beautiful poem and so true of all of our 4 legged friends. They can be trials at times, but we wouldn’t trade them for anything!

actually, I write for you and Ray but I haven’t post it . Write it a few a week ago and forgot to post it. I usually write in my notes rather than here. I’m embarrassed to post more than one everyday.

He does! We put it down to the Rotti in him softening the more striking lines of a Shepherd.

Very nice and thoughtful poem. It’s a lovely poem for a dog. He surely has a marvelous fan in Himali. I’d write one too but I’m not good at writing poetry. 🙂

Hi Mike. You got me on “puss”! I only know it as the short form of “pussycat” which really does not fit this guy! Care to define? 🙂

Face. Ray’s look is heart melting, at least for us former shepherd humans. See also: Sourpuss, a sad or disappointed look on someone’s face. Maybe another of those Americanized words authors should be careful about using. Anyway, I wish I could reach through and grab his ears for a good rub. Do that for me, would you?

I will do that for you …….. and get away with it! If you tried it as soon as you met him, the outcome would be very questionable! 🙂
