Her name is Zoe, she's the best
Wakes up every morning with zest.
I love her; she puts up with me,
Even days I wash her and dry.

The Nipperdawg was hurting so,
Had to put him down; a big blow.
No dog could ever be like him,
What a sad, sad day, it was grim.

But I've always lived with a mutt,
I found Zoe and she had strut.
She didn't take Nipperdawg's place,
But she had the prettiest face.

She's as different as she can be,
She don't lift her leg on a tree.
Zoe's not like Nipperdawg; no,
She has her own way, what a glow.

I'm glad I found my little friend,
She'll be with me until the end.
I talk to her, she cocks her head,
She's so cute a tear I could shed.

Precious, beautiful, darling little sweetheart and lovely photo of her.  Saved the photo along with the others of her in my folder called Animals Not Mine Or My Family's.  Cute poem, and nice to read about Nipper again too.  I could have sworn I had read it before - so much so that I did a Search on it, but didn't find it - must have been non-poem information in an email or a reply in one of your poems or mine or somebody else's.  I remember a poem about Nipper and you going for walks, but I don't think Zoe was in that poem, but maybe she was in the ensuing responses - I didn't think to do a Search on Nipper.  Hugs and cuddles to darling precious little Zoe.  How can so much beauty fit into one little body?

She's so cute a tear I could shed.


Yes, she is, and the tear is a sign of gratitude for your wonderful bond.

So very nice, dear Jerry.

Love,
Margherita

Owl, yes there was a poem about The Nipperdawg and me walking, plus I put a poem on the day he died. that was a tough poem to write. But you'll have to search using my original name JerryPat (without the 2). Something happened and I wasn't able to log on using JerryPat so I made a new account, JerryPat2.

Oh, yes, thanks, Jerry, I remember your climbing into the photocopier!  Silly me, I know I will most definitely have saved the poems about Nipper in my JerryPat folder (used for both you and your clone!).  Have work to rush at the moment, but will look for them there.  If by some mistake I didn't save the Nipper poems, I will do a Search for both poems and save them.

Jerry, what a sweetheart Zoe is! And that little face would melt the coldest heart. I think the two of you make a very cute couple...especially when you are sharing ice cream!

Hi Lori, I have to go to the store in a few minutes, why did you bring up ice cream. Drat.

Thank for the read and comment . . .
