Friends

My dog has some grey but looks more black
But the cat is an all black cat
They fight with each other everyday
Some might say this is a form of play 
If you ask me i would have to say
I think the cats trying to get away
Like really being pounced by a seventy pound dog 
Its like a ten pound cat being crushed by a log
She sneaks by the dog who is finally sleeping
Trying not to make a sound she walks by creeping
Trying to figure out where would be a safe place 
The dog up off the floor now it becomes a race
Any where at all this dog is ready to fight 
A cat with no claws can only bite 
You would think that now she would back away 
Not for this dog at least not today
Now the cat was on are bed one summer night 
A black cat climbed in are window ready to fight
Around the bedroom out to the hall 
The dog now upstairs from hearing the cats call
I quickly scared the cat under my bed
Saving its life and believe me that's mildly said
Closing the door in hopes the cat would come to me
So i could spare his life and set him free
Knowing it was scared i decided to leave it alone
In hopes it would climb back out and head for home
Opening up the door i got a surprise 
There was cat and dog side by side 
It brought me to realize that what you see isn't always right 
That even a dog and cat can be friends and still fight
