Murphy and Brandy: the Love Dogs

Murphy is his name,
of a corgi mix
is he.

2004 we brought
Brandy home
she is a border-collie-chow mix.

Murphy fell in love
it was love
at first sight.

Brandy acts like
a brand new puppy,
she passed this on to Murphy.

Murphy is ten
had him since 1997
brandy is six
both act much younger.

Watching these two
brings much joy
as it does for them.

They both demand
our attention at same time
it is so hard to do.

Somehow we do it,
Murphy begs,
Brandy lies on her back.

They both do this
to get our attention
the more we laugh the more
they do it.

So much love these
two dogs have for us
and for each other.

We will enjoy every moment
until that dreadful day
but happy is this day
to have them both here.

LOL - sweet! We have 2 cats and one dog and they all want attention at the same time too, if you can believe that! Thanks for the smile. Love, Shar
