Sassy Runs

Mornings in the backyard Sassy runs She runs and runs with speed and power Circling the old boys she growls like a grizzly Dive bombing them with snaps to their heads Genghis snaps and barks back Kublia looks for a escape path She does not understand how strong she is trying to coax the boys to play but she is rough Soon the boys scatter everyone for himself While Sassy runs encircling the yard She is happy and free running to run Kicking up the grass and dirt tongue hanging out The boys sneak their way under my chair their is refuge I throw a stuff toy in the air and she leaps and snaps it on the run clinging to it with her mouth She drops and grabs it drops and grabs it as she flies through the yard She circles my chair and the old boys stare at her she is crazy Finally she whines down and stops sitting on the ground with her head up high panting the good pant with a big doggy smile One ear sticking straight up the other folded down inside out making her cute as a big puppy she is Burn that crazy energy girl run yourself silly She looks full grown but is still a puppy Ten months old with a sweet baby face The old boys feel safe to spread out with caution In the mornings Sassy runs.
