Ouchy

When I was a mere five years old
An Alsation dog was never controlled
As quick as a flash
It bit me on the ass 
It's reaction was never foretold   

Since then dogs have scared me quite a lot
A resolution needed to be sought
As I grew to be older
With dogs I became bolder
So a Golden Cocker Spaniel we got

this is so cute. I am glad I was looking at the list because I think I somehow missed this limerick set of yours. Congrats and I hope you are enjoying the cocker spaniel.

A very nice little rhyme here with a great deal of understanding. Once a child has been bitten by an animal it's important to teach that child what he or she could have done to avoid such an occurrance. Usually it isn't the fault of the animal but of people who don't know how to inter-act with them. God Bless, JB

James We have had 3 cockers, one of which is staring at me now. Fortunately he is too small to reach that high and he has an overbite anyway. Congrats on the win. BobQ

I do suppose that would leave a "lasting impression" and patch on the pants, and a scar on the bottom!! Well done, James!! :) Congrats!

James, I used to be afraid of dogs too and am not familiar with the Alsation breed, but Cocker Spaniels are always sweet. Great poem, my friend. Congratulations on your win in Francine's contest! Love, Carolyn
