Pogo Dog

It’s magic at mealtimes the way she transforms;
the back legs defy all the physical norms.
She springs into action with vertical leaps;
there must be some kangaroo in there down deep.

She bounces like pogos have replaced her feet;
she’s getting that nose up to six feet or more.
A helium balloon can hardly compete;
I’m telling you, man, this pup really can soar!

So true, Jeff, so real. Rather like my granddaughter's dachshund who can grab a treat out of my unsuspecting hand held at waist level.

We had a dachshund that would scale a 4 foot cement block fence at the corner. I think it wasn't the purebred my parents thought it was when they got it, lol...
