Pup eats paper like a goatOn a pretty funny note
Pup eats paper like a goat
Digests it pretty easily too
Will he have such good luck with daddy’s shoe?...

who always acted arrogant and stuffy
one day it was said
she was found dead
those tooth marks aren’t mine dear Sophy

A dog is not freeA dog is not free
For he has only the Earth
He is chained you see
To this mass of no worth
A dog is not free
If he has not what we do
A roof not a tree
Of true joys he has has few
All this to say
It is never enough
To everything but
The one thing that you love....

Sugar’s First Big AdventureSugar was my very first pup,
With floppy ears and a tail stuck up.
Eyes so wide, full of delight,
Chasing sunbeams morning to night.
We ran through fields, just her and me,
Barking at clouds, wild and free.
She’d dig up secrets in the yard,
Then zoom around, a tiny guard.
She loved the breeze, the muddy streams,
And napping deep in dandelion...

Paris, the tiny starIn a world too big for one so small,
You walked with pride, stood ten feet tall.
A heart of gold in a dainty frame,
Paris, sweet pup, we still say your name.
Your paws once tapped across the floor,
A rhythm we won’t hear anymore.
But echoes linger in every room,
A light that cuts through even gloom.
Wrapped in bows or...

LuluOh, Lulu, small but full of might
A ball of joy, my heart's delight
With tiny paws and ears so grand
You rule my home with soft command
Your playful barks, your dancing feet,
The way you curl up warm and sweet.
Big brown eyes that shine so bright
A spark of love, pure golden light.
Through every day, through every storm,
Your little...

not helpful honeyMy dog smells like sewer
He runs toward me like a freight train
Jumps into my recliner and lollygags all over me
Now we both smell like sewer
I coax him into the bathroom
He is stronger than I am
No way I am getting him into the tub
my husband is yelling not to let him stay in the house
help I...

what is it nowMy puppy ran past me with purpose
I was thinking squirrel or rabbit
Relieved he returned empty mouthed
Not like the time he dropped a dead squirrel
At my feet in the living room
Frozen, it landed with a clunk next to my bare foot...

Walking in Winter without my doggiesI used to walk here with my doggy, Betsy,
I used to walk here with my doggy, Bo.
Both have gone up to doggy heaven.
Wonder if they're still making that yellow snow....

Goof on a RoofThe puppy is on the roof
The puppy is on the roof
He is a little goof, he is a little goof
How did he ever get up there so high?
He lifts his paw and can touch the sky
Do we make a big deal of this clown?
Or do we try to coax this puppy down?
The puppy is a...

puppy eating my bushesMy puppy is eating my bushes
One twig at a time
Bushes I have babied for ten years
They suddenly have a new purpose
When he is bothering them
He is not chewing on me...

Huge Sigh, Arms AkimboSad surprise awaits Juliette.
She walks into her house
to find new rescue, Hugo,
ripping the living room apart.
Bad doggie! Very, very bad doggie!
