Three Dogs

I have three dogs Iggy, Tilly and Banjo Banjo is always on the go And Tilly is a mess Iggy on the other hand Seems to be quite blessed They love to chase lizards Because sheep we have not Do lizards come in herds? Because now I have twenty or so Cornered under my Ford The collies wait quite patiently For one to make a move And then like tiny lighting bolts They bust a move They never hurt the reptiles But they never sleep I afraid they will develop A sleep disorder If I don’ t give them a break. So I bought a plastic dinosaur And I put it on a stick Now they chase me around the property Till I am almost sick But the lizards and the dogs are happy And that’s what really counts I can live another day And drive my car to work Only to come home to have Another herd of lizards Corralled in the dirt

I've always wanted a big dog. Or rather two at least; it's always nice for them to have a buddy. Hehe. This was cute. They sound like a load of fun to watch and interact with. Always, Laura

They are a handful. Luckily I have four fenced acres for them to run through; otherwise they would drive me insane. Wait I am insane...Next sentence...anyway they are fun and provide so much love and loyalty. I know they are just dogs. But they are my world. Kilmer
