Sad After Her Puppy Died

She never smiles, laughs or plays anymore.
She has been so sad since the passing of her dog Zore.
We thought hard and long about what we could do.
She was a pretty girl, and our niece, sweet too.

Without asking their permission I asked my sister?
She laughed because she called this guy stuck up mister.
Let’s just do it she urged me. What can he do?
After his baby gets a look at these handsome two?

So, we purchased two St. Bernard puppies that day.
They were so fluffy and fat that box sure did sway.
Her daddy started to lose it without much grace.
But her mother said “We are keeping them. LOOK AT HER FACE!”

Reminds me of the Tom Hanks movie "Turner and Hooch". This was a pleasure to read.

Hi Caren, Animals can make such an impact on a person's life. Just like the dogs did for the little girl’s life. Well done. I enjoyed the read:-) Alexis

I'm not sure I understand parts of this poem, but I understood enough to see a mother standing up for her child. Enough. Thanks for sharing this story. Nothing would bring a smile like two fluffy puppies!
