At the Dog House

Visiting friends with some visiting dogs As well as the two of their own, Was to be the receiver of licks gone amok, The slobbiest ones I have known. For canines get cozy the minute they sense That you'll be both receptive and kind And then they unleash their affection as if You're the best friend that they'll ever find. So it was an evening of nuzzles and drool And tail thumps and smooches galore, More doggie love given in one single night Than I've ever been given before. When we said our goodnights, with the dogs at the door, We were not the attraction we'd been; For to them, we had passed like a ship in the night, Though their slobber was still on my skin.
