~*My Best Friend*~

    

Alex is my little dog
She follows me everywhere,
Though quite small in body
She'd fight a grizzly bear.

A Jack Russell "Terrorist,"
She means so much to me,
With silk-like hair I love to touch
As devoted as can be.

When I get home she's always there
Waiting at my door
If I'm late she doesn't care
Like a wife that's mad and sore.

She listens to what I have to say,
She never interrupts.
She always wants to run and play
Like a little pup.

Her beauty makes me proud
Who could ask for more,
Than a little "Man's best friend"
To greet me at my door?

Toe

I have one of those friends, they are wonderful and always seem to know when you're feeling bad.  What a cutie...the dog and the toe!

Aww, she's so cute, Toe. My little 4-legged baby, Scooter,
would sure like to meet her. She's so cute. Give
her a hug for me and Scooter. Okay?
Hugs,
Ethel & Scooter

Toe ~

Ya see? I told you you'd be reading a whole lotta oooing and ahhhing!

Absolutely adorable! The poem, the pup ~ and you!

They say that pets often look like their owners! It appears you must be even more handsome than I had imagined! lol

A perfectly delightful post!

Big angel hugs to both of you!

She poops and pees and chews on things,
Because she loves you so.
Just daily reminders,
Of her love, you know.

So scoop it up
and remove the spots.
It's the joy of having
Dogs that are little tots.

Besides you're friends
With Long John Ag
You should be used to
Things that belong in a bag.

So enjoy those kisses mouth to mouth,
As she licks you on the face.
I'm glad you have a puppy,
That will continually invade your space.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Thanks all for the replies..actually she's "Alexis"....and this is her pup picture...she's a long-haired Jack Russell...full of Toeraggishness.....her ears didn't stay down like they were supposed to...she looks like a little white Scottish Terrier now..but her demeanor is truly Jack Russell Terrorist and a joy...she wants to play 100 mph all day or sit on my lap or crawl up into whatever curve position I'm laying in...or, she's under the dirty clothes sleeping...she's almost been washed a'many a time in the washer...but she's really smart...sits, begs, plays dead, shakes, high five's, rolls over, fetches, and talks when she wants something...if she barks and you tell her no, that's barking, speak...she'll speak....she's a jewel...

Mysteria's family dog - Bandit
            

Hey, if Alexis ever needs a date I have a Jack Russell here for her.  Bandit lacks manners sometimes, but other than that well....?  Bandit does exactly the same, can curl up right beside you (almost into you) and these dogs are incredible fun!

OPPS!   This is Sharon, Mysteria - I forgot to change it back to my name sorry!  Now I can't change it, so shoot me

... and talks when she wants something.

So does Abby, Toe...

All the time!

And you can see, she has her own window seat....

Toe -- Alex is so cute!  And, so is this poem!  I've got three best friends....and, they are "terroists," too, but never to me!   ....jo
