I really don't like dogs
Had too many bad experiences
In the past

When I was 4 years old
A German Shepard
Scratched me on top of my head
And knocked me down
My mind was blown when the dog did this
Like a cat I wanted to hiss

When I was 12 years old
I was spending time with my friend Bethel
I wanted to hold her dog Pill
And Pill bit my hand
Nice brand
NOT!!!!

When I was 13 years old
I spent the night at my friend Cristal's
She had the meanest dog
She said don't be scared
Go and pet him I did as she said
And the dumb dog scratched my face
I told Cristal never to do that to me again

But I did love one dog
Her name was Cleo
She was the sweetest thing in the world
So were her puppies

Cleo would always bring Busch
With her at first
But Busch was hit by a car
And died

Then she would bring Max
But he had to be put down
For distemper
That upset me so

Then one day I saw Cleo was gone
The owners decided to move
I haven't seen Cleo since I was 11 or 13
I can't remember which

So I have had both good and bad experiences with dogs
I am scared of them
Unless they are nice to me

Cold hands means a warm heart

I can understand why. What amazes me is that you overcame the fear instilled in you by the rough encounters enough to love Cleo. There really are lots of "Cleos" out there, but I'm a cat person. I started to say 'cat owner' but people don't own cats, it's quite the other way around.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Dogs like mine make dog-haters like my Dad happy.

What is life without poetry and adventure?
"Little sister" is just another way of saying "Guardian Angel"!
