I'll wake you up too early in the morning
with silly play growls
and the thumping of my tail on the mattress.

I'll make you laugh as i lick your face
because you weren't paying
quite enough attention to me.

I'll take you for a impromptu run,
though you've always known i'll always end up
herding the children playing down the street.

I've grown from seven pounds to seventy
which is bigger
than my breed is supposed to be.

I'm the ultra merl,
because two blue merls
aren't supposed to breed.

But aren't you glad they did?

Love,
Legend.

Some people fall in love and touch the sky, some people fall in love and find quicksand.

Paul,

Your lovely dog poem left me with a question.

Why are these types of dogs not supposed to breed?

Aww, how adorable! What a great poem about man's best friend.

By the way, Bobby, Blue Merles(which is a color pattern) are not supposed to breed, due to the Merle coloration being caused by a mutation; it could lead to blindness or deafness in offspring, if mated with another merle.

Love the poem but I never heard of a Blue Merle before, now I have to research it.

Bobby- Australian shepherds have  blue merle as one of the breeds colorings. Legend is just fine though.

Sill- Yep! He's just fine though. Good eyes and ears, good joints. Great dog! He really is my best friend...

March madness- That's the coloration! Legend is an australian shepherd. He's very silly, and has more personality than any dog i've met.
