A Dog's Life

A Dog’s Life Now lets see.. what to do today: I could chase my tail, and Bark at the man with the mail. Or… Sleep on the porch in the sun, and Dig some big holes for fun. Or….. Sit up and beg for a treat, and Play with the kids in the street. Or… Chew on her brand new slipper, and stand guard over the new little nipper. Or…. I might slip through the gate, and See my lady next door for a date .( Oh Baby! Lets see now….. I don’t have to worry About Obama or Palin,or if the banks are all really failin’. Who cares if Iraq blows sky high, Or if Michael Jacksons really a guy. No worries about more acid rain, or if grandmas slowly going insane. If someday I go to heaven with God, Darn!.I still want to go as a dog.

You have such a great sense of humor. This is one of my favorites its silly but its wonderful. Sometimes you want to trade places with your pet. Been there, with the thought. lol God bless Michael Torres
