Best Doggy Poems

We once had a doggy named Dale

That loved taking hold of his tail

He’d chase it all-day

In circles, he’d play-

When able to snatch it he’d wail!

They enrich life day by day.
By ones side they'll always stay.
We only notice when they depart
The paw prints they left on our heart.
Looking back, there's a special joy...
The canine with their favourite toy
The clattering of excited paws
The scrapes they made on wooden floors
Their wagging tails,...

Flames, smoke, puppy cries
Ashen angel appears
Loving kiss of thanks

Narrator:  I take you now inside the mind of a ten year old miniature Eskimo dog who
 lives happily inside a Rambler house with a fenced back yard that serves as his special 
area to periodically run freely when his “favorite person”(Love) puts him...

Woke up this morning all forlorn
Piles of dog poop lie on my lawn

I’d love to find the offending mutt
Give his owner a cork for its butt!

Dog poop is a disgusting mess
It gets everywhere I must confess

Come on dog owners make me happy
Put your pooch in...

Two cats are in my doggy bed.
The weather outside is cold.
My mistress is busy with all her chores,
As fall turns from cool to cold.

The rain continues pouring down.
There's nothing for me to do,
But sit here in my window seat
And watch the puddles, pool.

I feel it for your walks,
if you don't have a dog-

he could be snoopy or a slob,

danger, terror,
or even the bomb,

he'd find your better socks,

predict all the hours,

clocks your powers,

he could spell-

D.I.N.N.E.R B.E.L.L.


You'd know um' even in hell!

...He'd be just like T.V's little caustic casts,

knowing...

Susie stepped in a pile of dog pooh
It was caked on the sole of her shoe
Her shoes how they stank
The smell was so rank
To remove it what should Susie do?

Susie wiped mucky shoes on the mat
The mat on which her pussycat sat
Now it’s not on...

Hey Mr Doggy, you are as tall as me
I am doing you a favour, stand still and you will see
I am going to wash and dry you, and make you smell so nice
Because at the minute, you smell like my dead mice.

Mummy told me off...

Packaged and sent to Robert Gorelick’s
Made him a Doggy Book Of Limericks
That had me roaring-unique
Some were cute and very chic
A twisty phrase he pulls-off, are his tricks

A postcard; his picture, a return address
Newly printed and hot off the press  
It brought us closer, poet...

Pug noses in designer hoodies 
Wicker baskets on beach cruisers 
Leather sofas doggy devoted 
Grooming parlors and pet hotels 
Best pooch in wedding tux 
Nip and tuck, no more nuts 
Hollywood glitz for puppy shitz 
LA doggy style

Soft and soothing, sometimes silent
When hurts come to visit, there
Beneath the struggles, he calms and heals
Reminds the spirit that, despite 
The darkness, light is coming, hope 
Remains, a constant friend to the one
Who listens to the tender touch
Feels the cold nose and smooth fur,
Erasing the...

The Proud Lhasa Apso

With hair golden, thick, lavishly long
Praised in Tibet with dance, poem and song
You’re the proud Lhasa Apso
How you take naps on one’s lap so!
With refined, gentle folk you shall always belong
