She wouldn't win a beauty prize, My happy little Muffin. She wasn't very much for size, But sure could keep me huffin'. She chased the rooster to the deck Just to see that Banty run. When he hit the wall and broke his neck, She was just having fun. We'd play a game of hide and seek. I'd seek and she would run. I'd be so tired I couldn't speak. She was still having fun. She watched him hide his pretty wares When the Easter Bunny came And as the children ran in pairs She joined into their game. Their short legs were longer than The short ones that she wore, But for each egg put in their pan She'd find a dozen more. We tried to take them from her. She'd look at us and grin. Her mouth much faster than our hand As another egg went in. She wouldn't mind me when I called her, I was so scared I cried. She willfully ran onto the road. A car hit her and she died. I've had dogs that were more faithful And superior in size. But at being glad and gleeful, Happy Muffin wins the prize. Grandkids love to hear the story Of how Muffin stole the eggs And how God took her up to Glory On her little Dachshund legs. By: Joyce 10/20/09 |

This was adorable Joyce ... it sounds as though Muffin brought many a smile to many a face. A mischievious little gal for sure! Loved this.  Best wishes, /Kit |

Dear Joyce, I loved reading about little Muffin. It seems there is one dog who is talked about in every family. It's sad that Muffin died, but how wonderful to hear the tales today. xoxoxo Alison |

Thanks everyone. She was truly a happy dog. She went her own way but she loved everyone. And she though life was wonderful. Joyce |

Dear Joyce: A sweet poem and I'm sure Muffin was a sweet dog. Each pet has their own personality, and the memories stay with us always. Love Betty Lou |
