Do dogs know their end is near?

14 November 2026

She's lame and in pain with a twinkle in her eye, and not much else to give. She's spent her love as a good dog would, and there's nothing to forgive.

She tries her best to put her head in my lap but she can barely get up. She limps to me, cuz she wants me to know she's not ready to give up.

Do dogs know their end is near? Do they know how much they meant? Do they know we'll love them when they're gone? Do they know they're heaven sent?

Honeybear, we love you so. You've been way more than a friend. Barked thousands of warnings. And protected us till the end.

I walk down the drive and looking back she still follows me along. She catches up, bout five minutes later, end up carrying her home.

One time I grabbed an old wheelbarrow, and put her in, cuz she's the queen of our lives and honestly, that's what a good friend does.

Do dogs know their end is near? Do they know how much they meant? Do they know we'll love them when they're gone? Do they know they're heaven sent?

Honeybear, we love you so. You've been way more than a friend. Barked thousands of warnings. And protected us till the end.

She's been bit by coyotes. Got quills in her mouth. Been sprayed by a bunch of skunks. Led quite the life, an adventurous life, there's no dog with more spunk.

Do dogs know their end is near? Do they know how much they meant? Do they know we'll love them when they're gone? Do they know they're heaven sent?

Honeybear, we love you so. You've been way more than a friend. Barked thousands of warnings. And protected us till the end.

And protected us till the end.

Loyal till the end.

Loyal till the end.

A note from the lyricist

Sad song about a dog that is severely lame who's time is almost up and the relationship that will me missed. Mid tempo country in mind. Open to lyrical edits and structural changes.
