Coat black with shiny, wet nose,
Whiskery beard, and gleaming eyes of brown,
Peeping out through long eyebrows
With pink, panting tongue and a cheeky grin.
All over black my Sambo was,
With wavy coat, plucked short on top,
A powerful tail just like a whip,
He never was fooled, not missing a trick.
Scottish Terrier, bred from Kennelgarth Great Scot,
Loved us all equally and gave such a lot,
We love him still, though many years since he passed,
He's always with us, minding our backs.
Sadie Terrier
Scottish origin
Wins Westminster's
2010 contest
Hurray for Sadie
Pulchritude is
Pert, alert, shows
The audience
Glamorous side
Gave handler
A run in
The fast ring
The Black
Scottish
Sadie
Dog
Time calls me back home
Where Mother is Baking
Father,collecting the leaves
My older Brothers,putting together
a model airplane
Our poor of size Scottish terrier
barking at the mailman who brings
us the mail of the day
Supper on the stove
Then a trip through the White Mountains
while my Grandpa kindly drove
Time is now beckoning to me
and now I will let him in
