Glad For Spot

A tiny mutt followed her home She was not allowed to keep it She was six, and not in charge Her mother despised dogs. When she was nine she was allowed Spot. Spot spent his life chained to a house Out in the yard during all the seasons It made her sad, but she had no say. When Spot died, she was in college. Nineteen, she felt glad for Spot. Spot finally got to romp and play and be a dog in heaven. At twenty she was married. She began bringing dogs home. She brought them home whenever she was sad. She brought eight dogs home. All different breeds chow, husky, beagle, lab, mutt, mutt, mutt, and mutt. She was trying to make up for Spot. Never realizing there was nothing she could do. It was never her choice.
