Hugo’s Loss

I cannot remember my dog Hugo

The runs I had with him; did he ever beat me?
The naps I had with him; did he ever chew my pillow?
The swimming I did with him; could he actually swim?
The loud barking, I wonder if it scared me.

I cannot remember my dog Hugo

The time I was told that he ran away. I was told he came back panting.
The last hug I had with him; I wonder how I felt.
The great times I had with him and the photos I have to prove it.
The last kiss I gave him. Wet, disgusting but true love.  

 I cannot remember my dog Hugo 

The time he tangled me with his lead. I wonder if it hurt.
The time he shared his food with me. The smell was overwhelming.
The time we moved to a new house. I wonder, did it scare him.
The time I heard his last cry. The sadness we all felt.
