I Keep My Eyes Open

I have my red electric blanket, a real joy. 
My husband has his baby mattress frog
Kitty has her fluffy big-eyed baby toy. 
A stuffed headless tiger is comfort to our dog.

Supper fed and comfortable, we live our life our way. 
We curl up in our spots, in front of the television set.
Kitty keeps her baby close at hand, but what can I say?
Now there is another headless animal thanks to Big Gray.

Big Gray is a puppy, and a professional chewer for sure.
He does not understand boundaries, but his heart is pure.
If he goes after Kitty’s baby, there will be the devil to pay.
So, I keep my eyes open, whenever Big Gray heads that way.

I know it does; it is difficult separating a cat who is terrified from the enforcer who is fast and fascinated by the cat.
