Hat Bueckert Poet Acrostic

Shelby Dog

Sweet Shelby, so it's been one spin around the sun for us
Here's to hungry you helping have hamburgers (obviously there was too many)
Emptying the trash when there was no more room (clearly there wasn't any)
Licking up leftovers laying on the ground (even though you spilt them there)
Barrell rolling in poop at the park (a good reminder for a bath, to be fair)
You yank my arm off when you see a rabbit (it's a bit of a fuss)

Diligently sniffing out any treats (or any food for that matter)
Old girl, young at heart, my 80 lb lap dog (there's nothing I would rather)
Gave me a first year, I wouldn't have any other way

Reason A. Poteet October 16, 2022 at 3:38 AM This caught my eye, my granddaughter Shelby loves dogs - She has a huge mastiff/lab mix. He's Buckley and until she recently married, he lived with two daschunds (one minature). Remarkable how gentle he became, hope he stays just so on the farm where she moved. Love the end parentheses comments, afterthoughts - nice technique.
