Buddy

A poem about my Rat Terrier Buddy written for Angel's "My best friend is a dog" contest.

 

 

 

 

This is a story of man’s best friend

Told in the form of a poem

Short little legs always running around

I’m sure you’d be pleased just to know him

 

Black and white spots of a furry design

A tail that is constantly wagging

Always around, asleep in my lap

He loves me and no I ain’t bragging

 

Give him a treat and he’ll do you a dance

Begging, he seems so proficient

Cleaning up scraps after dinner is through

I’m happy to say he’s efficient

 

Chasing a cat, well he’s not that fast

Still he will bark at them loudly

Then he’ll return with that look on his face

I give him a pat oh so proudly

 

He sleeps by the door, a protector he is

Always so ready and willing

To scare off intruders who lurk in the night

A growl that he knows is so chilling

 

So needless to say he’s my very best friend

I try everyday just to show him

So no need to ask how much he means to me

I’ve written it out in this poem

I love little dogs that think they are fierce! A fun tribute to your Buddy! Great pic - he looks so proud!

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Rita, He is fierce alright, until he sees his own shadow, then all bets are off. :)

Ha! One of those, eh? Our old dog freaked out at every noise.

So sweet...Does he like to listen to you play the piano?...nicely done Jack:)

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Rose. Well, he will lay there and listen, whether he enjoys it or not is another question. I know he runs and hides under the bed when I sing. :)

[SyberRose]
