It was love at first sight for Eloise,
Sweet child who always said, 'Thank you" and "please."
A doll Santa brought her on Christmas morn.
To Eloise, a baby girl was born.
The little one was a doting mother
and loved her dolly, wanting no other
But one day, Eloise woke from sleeping
Baby was gone ~ Eloise was weeping.
The family searched in many places.
Everyone wore sad frowns on their faces
No doubt about it, Baby Doll was lost
Eloise cried all night. She turned and tossed.
Come morning, Pearl the Sheltie, raised her head
Eloise yelled, "Baby Doll's in Pearl's bed!!"
That pup wanted a baby of her own
instead of pull toys, or a chewy bone!
Now, Eloise and Pearl are quite content
They carry their dolls into a play tent
Like two little mommies they go to sleep
With babes at their side, they don't make a peep.
