Brandy Girl

That is what I call

her, my little Brandy girl,

love you baby, such a good

little dog, my best friend

in the world, my beautiful

little companion of mine

each night of the week

can find you resting so

deep in sleep by

my bed, during the

night your barking

awakes me, such a good

watch dog you are,

I get up, to find nothing there

but air in the wind or a falling

branch, but at times you have

barked at something that I saw.

Each morning I wake and there you are,

sleeping so soundly by my bed.

Feeling so good having you as my dog,

will enjoy these moments as long as I can

my dear Brandy girl.

about my dog Brandy a sweet Chow- Border Collie mix.

It must be very comforting to have such a sweet dog by your side, James. And it's great that she has alerted you when something "goes bump in the night." That chow-border collie mix must be quite beautiful! Enjoyed your poem. Getting ready for my fishing trip. Love, Carolyn

she is more like a border collie, her tongue is black and the way she stands is like a chow, but she acts like a border collie, but thank you for your comment.
