I Hate Dogs

Too many big and small         
It doesn't matter, I hate them all.

I hate when they run, I hate when they leap.
I hate when they frolic in their sleep.

I hate how much they love to cuddle.
Their love is never very subtle.

I hate when they lick away your tears.
And comfort you as you face your fears.

I hate when they tilt their head and stare,
And snip and chew, on your long hair.

I hate when they hunt and kill a bug,
And track their filth across the rug.

I hate when they jump on your private places,
Or hit the window with their faces.

I hate every, dog, except a dog named Red,
I still love him, even though he’s dead.

I agree. I'm a cat lover. Has any dog ever used a litter box? Great poem
