Work On

A tricolored Rat Terrier
Is me, set apart, unique
Sporty, distinctive, serious
A breed that is antique

Bred to have high intelligence
Strong sense of smell, hunter
That sniffs out rats, chipmonks, squirrels
My owner's assister

I stand at a tree and show him
Where a squirrel has gone
Or stand at wall showing owner
Rat that he needs work on

Who died a little over a year ago

What a wonderful poem my friend! I just love cats and dogs, and have a Yorkie at the present moment! I know you miss your dog, because I miss our previous Yorkie we had, she lived for 13 years!
