Queen of the Dog Lovers

my mother professed to not like dogs
But dogs liked her.
My twin does not like a dog
She does not see value in a dog
She does not want a dog
She is fearful of dogs

And yet here I am
the queen of the dog-lovers
I have had up to nineteen dogs at one time
I used to get sad at my job
so I would stop at the humane society
and pick up a puppy.

A puppy always alleviated my sadness.
A puppy always makes me incredibly happy.
I love dogs, I adore them, they are joyous beings.
I love their enthusiasm and their happy puppy-ness
Dogs have made my world better than I ever knew it could be.
I feel sorry for people who do not love dogs.
