I Want a Doggy

Oh how I want a doggy, a bundle of love and fur. Someone to hold and love, someone to cuddle with when I sleep. I asked my dad, he said maybe. I asked my mom, she said no way. I even asked Santa, he forgot little old me. Each night I dreamed, I dreamed all about my new furry friend. A friend to play with, a friend to talk to. One day my new friend appeared, he was walking across my back yard. I called Spot, he came a limping to me. His feet were hurt from a long walk, a walk that lead him right to me. As we got to the back door, I screamed for my dad. Dad picked up Spot with loving care, into the kitchen to wash and bandage his paws. I watched and rubbed Spot's head, showing him all of my love. A few days later, Spot was all healed and ready to play. My doggy, a bundle of love and fur was here to stay. Someone I can hold and love, someone I can cuddle with when I sleep.
