A New Companion

My dog was so happy 'till I got me a cat He cocked his head funny seemed to ask ~ What is that It's a companion I told him Now go out and play So they did... But that was the last time I saw them that day Couldn't sleep all night long Knew that something was wrong Sure enough, just before dawn In slinks my dog With a face two feet long Where's your companion I asked, fearing the worst It was snack-time, my dog woofed Now can I please quench my thirst

Feel guilty chucking but this was so well put together. Pleased to see in the comments that on this occasion you were economical with the truth. Thoroughly enjoyable. Ron

Just call me Mr. Economical or perhaps Mr. Ecumenical. LOL. Thanks, Ron!

Perhaps it was 'miss-ate' instead of 'mistake.' ~ Me-ow

This was fun to read, Gershon. It's usually a bad sign when one of them comes back alone. Thanks for sharing! Blessings.

LOL! My husband would call my sister’s little dog “shark bait.” That is a man’s way, for sure :)
