I sent this on to Lisa Ferrets mom, but thought the people here may like
the sentiment...

Love Kept Me
 
Love kept me going
When all my strength was gone
Love kept me growing
When my body was all done
 
Love kept me dancing,
Giving a smile to your day.
Love kept me prancing
Giving all my self in play.
 
Love kept me spinning,
Encouraging your laugh
Love kept me grinning,
Despite that hated bath
 
Love kept me here
For life which I gave hope
Love kept me dear
For soul which I helped cope.
 
Love kept me doing things
Which were out of pace
Love kept me chewing things
Which were out of place!
 
Love kept me giving
Far more than I'd have done.
Love kept me living
Far past when I'd have gone
 
Your love kept me longer
Than any than any vet in town.
So make that smile grow stronger,
Than that pain'd frown.
