The Little Dog ( Scotty )

The Little Dog ( Scotty ) I’m only a small female Little legs you see The other two are huge Males big pawed and hairy Great tongues lolling But they protect me They are nice to me I’m only small The human is a giant ! If I look straight ahead I can only see the shins And while the other two are off Galloping and romping I am trotting behind Little legs you see But the human He waits for me I think the human is male He must be As I feel so drawn to it And its kind hands And kind eyes He must be male I am female I know these things I love to go out walking The human he takes us all All three ! I have to skip over boulders Which to them are just pebbles And sometimes all of them Have to wait for me patiently Little legs with little paws you see I love them all Especially the human And especially when he feeds me Even more when he tickles my tummy Do you know he built a little house for me Just for me I curl up on pillows at night Nice warm and cozy So because I love him And even though I am rather small I growl and bark When he needs protecting And I can see him smiling So I know I am being a good girl The human has a “ H U G E ” kennel So big a dog could get lost in And when he returns from being gone He always lets us in But never up those little floors Which go to the place he uses for sleeping Never mind I am content Like the other two To curl on the soft fluffy bit of the floor And wait dozing Occasionally sniffing about The place food is kept in Till the time comes For us all to go out walking And then I can barely contain myself In jumps and circles While the other two are whimpering and whining Time for them to go off running, snuffling and playing While behind I follow Steadily trotting Little legs you see But the human He waits for me
