Sassy

She was alone in the pen at the end visibly frighten Shaking like a leaf wanting reprieve So young a volunteer stay by her side If she could she would of cried It was free adoption day and the dogs knew they were on display Barking loud and clear someone take me out of here But she so shy and scared she seem to need so much love and care The little dog spoke to my heart so with her I did depart Adopting her that day she was bewilder and afraid A friend drove us home I held her so precious to own She cling to me so tight Celeste her name seem right Calm and peaceful and shy With my two old boys would she survive Finally at home we arrived Ghengis waiting at the window was barking with joy for his master was home such a happy boy I placed her in a fence area and closed the screen door I let my boys out and they were shocked and floored What was this new dog and why is she here I let them be together but the boys showed fear She tried to sniff them but they ran away I realized of her my old boys were afraid I let her in the house and she began to run around the scare little dog was nowhere to be found Within five minutes she evolved from Celeste to Sassy girl she was so overjoyed in her brand new world I had to catch her and bathe and clean her good Gave her a treat she was home understood She ran and jumped for joy and with the boys tried to play but each time the fat boys would run away Now Kublia who wants to befriend every dog a stray whenever they are at the fence between it they do play They bark and run along it, sniff and wag their tails but with little Sassy Kublia heads for the hills And mighty little Ghengis with anger always on display with his new sister Sassy he shys away It was so wonderful for Sassy to come out of her shell I thought it would be weeks employing all my skills She slept with me that night laying next to my side the boys fled under the bed stayed there to hide Sometimes she softly whimpers as the boys run away It will take time before the old boys get comfortable enough to play We were three bachelors living in our house alone now we have our Sassy girl to make it a home She is sweet and funny and has energy all day Lively and cute she's in my heart to stay My new big puppy is our Sassy girl upside down she playfully has turned our world.
