My Old Dog, Sweet Pea

I have an old dog named Sweet Pea
More wily than sweet, you’d agree
Who runs the house?
Not me or my spouse 
No, our dog, Sweet Pea, the queen bee 



* For our little girl, Sweet Pea, after 15 years with us, she is a part of the family.

I love this, and I just checked and saw I didn't have you on my fave poet list yet, something I need to rectify immediately. I sure enjoy your poems. Luv, Andrea

LOL, love this witty write on Sweet Pea. Our dog Paddy ruled the roost too : )

Thanks for reading and commenting, Jack. I have never had a dog that didn't rule over me. I guess I'm a sucker for a four-legged cutie!

LOL We have pets so we can spoil them, Rhonda. (Or do THEY have US?) This is an adorable limerick and I'd love to see a photo of Sweet Pea! Love, Carolyn

Good question, Carolyn. We think we are rescuing them, but they end up rescuing us! Thanks for the comment. I will have to post a pic of little Sweet Pea. She's a heinz 57 with a lot of personality! Blessings, Rhonda
