He Never Gives Up
~By Sue~

What is it with this dog I have
Doesn't he know I want to sleep
Before the sun even comes up
My dreams he does not let me keep

He starts his whinning at the door
Scratches at my door too
Insisting I get out of bed
My hours of sleep are very few

He does not know it just quite yet
Soon he will have a brand new home
Since he insists on waking me
Before the critters start to roam

Do I ever know this scene...they're so useless but priceless...mine is similar..

She looks at me with soft brown eyes
That melts my heart, and then she sighs
And rests her head upon my knee
And turns her soulful gaze on me.

The rough, wet tongue that licks my hands
The bark that says she understands
The paw that lifts in supplication
The eyes so filled with adoration.

But wait!-that dog is at my plate
She stole my meal, my T-bone steak
Oh you worthless, selfish bitch
Who will not heel and will not fetch
Who does not heed me when I call
Leaves muddy tracks along the hall
And sneaks into my fresh made bed
Leaves hair and slobber on the spread
Who gulps her food in seconds flat
And then is sick upon the mat
And yet without a pause will then
Proceed to gulp it down again
And I don't think it's very nice
To gulp you food and eat it twice.

Oh you filthy, flea hound creature
Can I find one worthwhile feature
This time won't save you from the pound
You loathsome, faithless, rotten hound!

She looks at me with soft, brown eyes
That melts my heart, and then she sighs
Her lashing tail and wriggling bottom
Means all my anger is forgotten.

(big hugggssssss) Yes, I just love how Linda said it, may you sit down and talk this over puppy chow! (sigh) This is a touching and cute poem, sweet friend, God Bless You Both, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

It must be a doggie thing, cause ours does the exact same thing. Pounces on the bed and stands there staring at us at 4 a.m.

I'm going to take Linda's advice and chat with mine over kibble.  hehehe

This is precious Sue.  Marti

I grumble a lot at my cats... they don't understand the concept of Saturdays and when their little tummy alarms go off, I'm supposed to roll out and obey the bosses! LOL But I wouldn't trade them for the world! Toe definitely has it right (and I love his poem... that deserves a post of its own!)... when they turn on the love, every aggravation is forgotten and forgiven. *S*
