Guardian Of The Keep Ten weeks old, with golden hair and tummy big and round The master now depends on you to guard this sacred ground The backyard realm’s enormous with its grasses tall and deep And none had better challenge the guardian of the keep This outside world’s a wonderland for a curious little nose You fight a vicious battle with that deadly garden hose Find a place to hide your bone and forget where it is at Or hide under the bushes from that mean old snobbish cat Chase your rubber ball and then, what is that you see? Your flowerbed’s been invaded by an awful buzzing bee How dare it have the nerve to fly into your keep today You bravely move in to attack and bark it right away A sudden noise brings panic and then causes great alarm Something from beneath the ground has come to do you harm What is that terrible sound you hear that interrupts your play? The horrible sprinkler’s come again with its nasty water spray To the safety of your puppy bed on stumbling paws you run The hose is dead, the bee is gone, your work today is done So now it’s time for a weary little puppy head to sleep And none had better awaken the guardian of the keep |

And now I picture in my mind, all those dogs who safely grind and keeping them, their masters be, asleep, and one, in safe mind; Who knew it was so tough a job, this reason that we should be? Guardian dogs who bespeak their mind! BARK! for all men free! |

It's about time our canine keepers get a little recognition for their complete dedication to their duties! We tend to take for granted our safety and security without recognizing the hard work daily displayed by our masterful mutts....good work! |
