Who Let the Dogs Out

My auntie purchased a great dane, That mutt really drives her insane When it does a poop, It won’t fit the scoop, Her husband’s now hired a crane They also have got a Shih Tzu It constantly poops in her shoe She abhors the critter Cos it’s not a quitter Their house is just littered with pooh My Saluki’s a naughty pet Last Monday he peed on the vet Who was a trainee And very brainy I’m sorry his trousers got wet! 08/23/21

My sis has a Shih Tsu. I have to keep my socks on or hide them. And when I tell my sis, she says, “not my problem.”

So it’s YOUR family that keeps filling the poop bins to overflowing. We’d love another dog, Jan... but I’m having second thoughts now! Terry

You are so good with humor and indeed making us all laugh. This is hysterical but as Lindsay says was the vet maybe guilty and not Saluki! Well penned my friend., Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Ah, this is precious, Jan. I loved the idea of "hiring a crane." That's one helluva poop!
