This Dog Fell Asleep In the Wrong Room

Sammy fell asleep in the girls’ room again.
They are four, six and seven so that’s on him.
My giggling husband and I casually tiptoed in 
He had toys from his bottom up to his chin.

He does not seem to mind, said my husband Joe
He was right, this dog had been in worse places of woe.
I took a photo, for I knew that Sammy would not care or know.
Post it on social media? Or would that be low?

Caren, What a nice picture this poem paints, to say nothing about some great memories you stirred. Oh I really have to see that now. Sammy slumbering amid Chutes & Ladders, Hatchimals, and My Little Ponies..,I can just picture it. -Richard
