Canine Angel

All my dog wants to do.
Is walk into the poo.
She has to look down the hill
While she stands so very still.

Sometimes she is a pain.
She really hates the rain.
She frolics in the snow.
When she has to go,

She has her own style.
While pooping in a pile,
She looks at me to say.
Don’t you watch me; OK.

She has spots of black.
Over white upon her back,
She has this wonderful knack.
To keep her owner on track,

Heidi is her name from a game.
She still hides her face the same.
As if to say, you don’t see me.
Though she is easy to see,

An 85-pound dog is hard to hide.
Her heart is so full of pride.
Smart as an owl, she lets you know.
That it is pee or poo time to go.

She is now old and has her own meds.
Along with about five or more beds,
Heidi tells you when she wants love.
She is our canine Angel, from above.

OMG Cecil, this has me giggling like crazy. My dog, for some strange reason when he is out loose in our back yard will try his best to roll in any 'foreign' poop that some creature has graced us with! ~lol~ Still, all in all we love them with all our hearts, don't we. Thanks for the morning smile! Love, Shar
