Koda, the Replacement Part

That ole' rag mop, the handle's fine, this is the second, my gold mine, floors should be vinyl, camper tight with incidentals, grab & sight! A new Lab puppy, doorstep night, left nine (9) a squawking, late, not right ~ cop picked up gently, took inside first time a tear came, lost my fright! Now six+ months, growing, I kept one, a shelter drove here, Texas lass so grateful, I thought that's real class, took eight (8) away, all crying, fast! Not looking back, the "one" is work she'd chew the lightning from a storm don't matter what it is, she's prone to tear it up, still's not fake bone! I call her, Koda, meaning friend she always licks your face, say when, a River campground, easy spend some playground ethics, still open! Full grown in six months, but can I keep the picture, not offend, called the relation, they say "when" a full blown "yes" would help this trend! Are puppys God sends, teach us lots to watch this energy, we've got to put them first, the eating list and not rehearse this "same old grit!" The trek inside, but yards, "yo ho" there's more to out there, then just mow a chewing space, in one big store the tie ups help, but Lord, Oh Lo! The jumping, nipping come often especially when a friend comes by Could use a "trainer" Sit and Down, or even learned advice compound! Retriever Lab, her namesake's breed can find the "fowl" in River's lead but growing Season, time's the Creed learning obedience, not recede! So help me Poets, where's your stake at finding lost creation's sake, advice so welcome, need a break at hunting dog's conditioned sake! Abandonment ~ Nine (9) three week old puppies, left on front porch in freezing weather! It's scary, they cry like any baby might! Making friends this way is so heart wrenching! Neighbors, so helpful. One couple really donated so much of their energy, bringing extra home made food! Now, I know, after six+ months, how this tiny pink and white Labrador pup opened so many doors to kindness, I never ever expected, last January!
