Bandit

Bandit That first day he took his own room He doesn’t want anyone in there Especially to sweep with a broom From day one he’s been housebroken He barks at me like crazy If he were human he would be outspoken When it comes to rodents he is daring He’s gotten slower and other losses One being his hearing He has lost some of his sight He won’t go down the stairs I have to turn on a light About his nose for him to smell When I take out food It’s like I rang a dinner bell He won’t leave me out of his sight He follows me around the house He must be with me day and night He likes outside in the cold He dislikes summer My dog now at 15 years old

I can feel the love, care, and concern for this aged pet...Some breeds live to be 20 years or more these days..I am glad that I chose this one to read..Sara
