My Best Friend

I remember the first time I saw him
He had just turned eight weeks old
His hair was a beautiful sable
But he looked much to small to hold

So I asked the man at the pet store 
and here's what he had to say
He's new with us and still shy around people
But I'll bring him out to see if he'll play

And as I sat in the playroom and waited 
I began to ask myself why
He's shy around people and he's very expensive
And he'll probably do nothing but cry

But to my suprise he ran right over 
And he jumped right in my lap
It was there there that all two pounds of him
Curled up to take a nap

So I held him there for a little while
Because he was much to cute to disturb
And when he awoke he kissed my hand 
And said Mommy that was superb
