On Behalf of Dogs

Happy National Dog Day, PS! Beagle, boxer, poodle, pug, Airedale, cocker spaniel, terrier, Shiatsu, pom, or something furrier, Pedigreed or cur-ish mug, Dogs make our lives ever so much merrier. We pick up after, poof, and pamper them, But, never like our kids, Do we with the Ten Commandments try to hamper them. Consider how they often make us break with number Seven, And other blasphemies they might incur if there were Eleven. But for all their sins they make amends With apologetic eyes, and ingratiating grins. We try holding out, but in the end, A sloppy kiss, first us then them, A wag, a hug, and we're best friends again.
