My Exceptional Dog
Did I tell you about my dog,
how exceptional he is
at mimicking my behavior?
When there’s a knock at the door
he’s right behind me.
Or when I sit at the table –
breakfast, lunch, or dinner –
he’s by my chair waiting for a treat.
And when I head for the bathroom,
no matter the time, he follows me
and drops on the rug till I finish.
It’s the same with our morning walk,
he waits patiently to be leashed
so we can enjoy the walk together.
Of course, he’s not perfect, so when
he poops on the living room rug
or pees on the kitchen floor, please
understand he’s not mimicking my behavior.
