Happy 16th Birthday Bonnie

My Bonnie lass is sixteen now
Her birthday is today.
And for a husky that is old
I’ve heard our young vet say.

My dear old dog, we love her so
And glad that she’s still here.
Her routine every day is set
She’s trained us well each year.

A pup who loved to go for walks
I’d let her off the lead.
She’d run about, and proved to be
An independent breed.

We’ve watched her grow, she has great style
A husky through and through.
She loves to have our company
We spoil her, that is true.

A better friend could never have
Such joy to us she brings.
Although she’s old, still has her life
That pulls on our heart’s strings.

The years have flown, her time is near
No longer can she play.
But now she’s turned sweet sixteen,
     “Bonnie Happy Birthday”.
