My Fido was booked into the vets To remove his ‘love making’ assets He was due for an op Where his ‘bits’ got the chop No puppies; I’d have no regrets We arrived near the vet’s surgery Fido yelped that he needed to wee He heard another dog bark Then scampered off to the park And escaped so far away from me To cut a long story quite short Young Fido he could not be caught It can’t be discounted That doggy he mounted I’ll admit I was very distraught! When Fido responded to heel His fate at the vets I did seal He’s quickly sedated (Poor actions berated) His stitches will dissolve and heal! When musing, I shouldn’t get mad His doggy behaviour was bad Though Fido was ‘dog gone’ His line continues on Six puppies, look just like their dad!

I can imagine what Fido was saying 'just once before I go' and his wish came true - there is six to prove it - thanks Jan - Lindsay
