Our New Dog

You love your purebred. I'll love my Whatachamacallit. I wonder how he came to be at our back door? I must admit He is exquisite For something I've never seen before. You love your purebred. I'll love my Whatachamacallit. Darling he's a misfit that will fit Right in with our children playing under The sycamore. I must admit He's becoming my favorite. God sent me something I can't ignore. You love your purebred. I'll love my Whatachamacallit. Look love he has personality and wit He brought my sleepers to me that were Over there on the floor. I must admit Honey, this is going to be definite He will live here forevermore. You love your purebred. I'll love my Whatchamacallit. Now our family's complete I must admit.

G'day Bette … when kids, most everyone had 'bitzas' (bits of this and bits of that). These days they're not around, but they are much hardier than the purebreds and have a better temperament. I reckon you're the lucky one Bette - Lindsay

"Whatachamacallit." sounds marvelous! All of mine have been the same.

It seems to me that they are a lot more calmer than the purebreds are. I am glad to hear we are not the only ones who go for the Whatachamacallits.

I like this poem Bette, often animals gets confused when they are lost and are lucky enough to find themselves in a garden with people who will love them, your watchamacallit was God sent and will find love with your family for evermore! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Thank you. You are right. The animals who found us. Are the best family dogs. This is just my opinion. I believe they were sent by God to us. They are so loving and wanting to please that they capture our hearts right away. It was nice to have meet you. I hope I hear from you again. Happy Thanksgiving.

Nice tribute to "man's best friend". Never had a dog - only a cat named Bilbo and some lizards. Peace & Love Matthew Anish
