Golden and Gorgeous

Just over four years ago A question was asked Do we get a pet And answer our ask So we consulted the kids As they gave us choices For in our family We listen to voices A cat would be nice But sadly not As we have asthma in the family So a cat was not sought No bird or rabbit or even a fish Was in the thoughts of our children's wish One thought, that did spring to mind A breed of dog of the most beautiful kind They are small and cuddly With different colours of coats But the one we went for And we forever dote His name is Digger Which is his Pedigree name He is a Golden Cocker Spaniel From dog show fame Through good days and bad days He is always happy and playing Our most delightful pet Who treats all days the same

You chose a beautiful breed to add to your family. Your poem shows us just how much he means to the entire Fraser clan. Wonderful tribute to Digger! Love, Carolyn

This type make one of the most awesome pets James. I had one of this breed once. He related to humans more than any dog I've own sence. Agape, Moses

What a delightful quatrain, James. There is nothing quite like the companionship of a favorite pet to complete the family circle. By coincidence, my entry for Constance's contest is also about a childhood friend...another "Digger" !! :) Good luck in the contest with your poem about your "Digger"!!
