Marvin

Walking home from the gas station

Ice cream and rock star in hand

When I come across this little dog

Misshapen, sad, matted little man

So I called up my family

Asked could they come pick me up

There was this little dog

And he was looking pretty rough

Mats and tangles snout to tail

Left side of his snout deformed

His tongue won't fit in his mouth

He walks like he's all sore 

His eyes are clouded over

Probably Cataracts

Poor sad little dog man

No one will want him back

He only had one tooth

Can't even defend himself

I had to take him home

Seaders are here to help

Sierra came to pick us up

Man he really loved the car

We tried to feed and water him

We didn't get very far

Cut off most of his hair

To rid him of the mats 

And noticed a few bugs

So we gave him a couple baths

I got him to eat this morning

Bologna chopped up real thin

since he has no teeth

And I didn't want to choke him

He's drinking water now

and playing with the cats

His tail's been wagging around all day

Why wouldn't anyone want him back?

Think he might be pom-chihuahua

Kinda black and tan

I'm calling him Marvin

This sad little old man

The way we treat an animal is one of the ultimate testimonies of our character.
The way you treated this dog Annabelle Lee does not surprise me (not that Im always right about people) rather it confirms what I thought - you are a beautiful soul.
I have seen such dogs flourish through TLC - I wish Marvin and you both a long and happy friendship.

Awh, you're so sweet to rescue Marvin Annabelle Lee, and what a great poem to celebrate his new home!

[Annabelle Lee]

Thanks! He actually won't be a bad looking dog when his hair grows back in, His nose's kind of worrying me though. It's just kind of collapsed on the side and so his tongue is constantly hanging out because it won't fit.

Poor pup, it was his lucky day when he ran across you...
