Sassy the Mudder

The backyard area by the door for grass it always needed more to much shade from the mulberry tree and hungry rabbits like to feed When it rains shallow puddles formed and muddy was the ground the sun comes out and dries it fast and you could walk around My dog Sassy came into my life full of energy and so young through the puddles and on the mud she loves to run The old boys step lightly in a waddle, Sassy at full throttle tearing the ground with big paws ripping grass with her claws churning the earth as she runs into muddy mess such doggie fun Runs fast as a cheetah growling like a grizzly bear every nip of grass quickly disappears So now the area is reduce to muddy earth all for the joy of Sassy running mirth She is a fireball flashing fast as sound, the only victim my grassland ground So now I get to get some big stepping stones while Kublia digs in the mud to bury a bone Genghis tip toes trying not to slide but still the dogs enjoy outside Sassy has been with me less than a year but as a rescue she loves me dear Each dog is different but still the same, for with them love always sustain And if no grass can grow. looks like a lot less to mow.
