Balled up socks,
And chewed up rugs;
I can’t get enough,
Of that worn out stuff.
Ah, the memories,
They conjure up,
Of nubby bones,
That are all but gone.
I find comfort,
In old timey things,
In bald ratty toys,
That used to make noise.
In the T-shirts,
Socks and mittens,
You’ve relinquished,
After I’ve destroyed ‘em.
In the many,
Hidden treasures,
I’ve tried to hoard,
In corners and cupboards.
All that stuff,
Reminds me of,
A worn out bone;
The kind that makes a house a home!
I see other dogs,
With a longer leash,
And I wonder why,
You’re so close to me.
I look around,
And what do I see?
A plethora of leads,
As long as can be!
Could it be?
Am I seeing things?
After all, that’s a fairly,
Thin piece o’string!
And, after all,
Who really cares?
The closer you are,
The less I feel scared.
More than that,
I like to know,
That you’re near me,
Wherever we go!
The warmth and love of a dog brings a sense of hope into world
They carry a loving heart and kindness buried throughout their soul
The love they share,
All the care they bare,
Helps people to open their hearts,
To experience a unique love
A love they would not be able to find anywhere
Love and friendship with your dog brings a new meaning to one’s life.
They help you see past the clouds on a gloomy day
They bring sunlight everyday
Dogs make you look at the world in a different light
When the skies are dark, they make it look bright
Because all dogs bring a joy to every girl and boy
The care in their eyes,
The love in their hugs,
Their playful personality,
Their warm and tender hearts they carry
Makes you open the doors to your heart
They teach people who love to love more…
They teach people who stopped loving to love again once more…
The happiness dogs give fills our hearts with love,
Smiles,
And laughter
When we holds happiness in our hearts,
We are able to deliver happiness to others
Teaching others the importance of having a life filled with love,
Joy,
And laughter
Each day has so much more meaning when their spent with the dogs you love,
Life is meaningless without love,
And whether it is with a person or an animal,
Everyone needs to love
Someone or something
Let your dog or some dog who needs a home
Be the one-
The one who makes you laugh,
The one who surprises you and fills your day with fun,
Dogs take the stresses of life away
With a touch or a lick or a hug
A dog’s love is unconditional,
They will always have a space in their heart for you
So take a moment of your time
To find a dog to love
A dog you will cherish
A dog that will fill your heart with special memories to remember
Forever…
What a perfect night tonight
As the warm air and cool breeze surrounds me
I look high into the sky
What a beautiful sight I see
Oh my can it be?
A shooting star flying by me
As I continue to watch,
The bright stars shining down on me
I quietly think to myself…
What if they weren’t stars,
Shining oh so high in the sky
What if they were doggies watching over me,
Loving and protecting me,
Beautiful dogs,
In spirit,
Taking care of me from the high heavens above
Just like, they would if they were on earth
Except these dogs have the power to make any wish come true
The brighter the star,
The closer they are…
So, maybe if I made a wish they could hear me,
So here, it goes…
One doggie to another
Starlight,
Star bright,
The first doggie star I see tonight,
I wish I may,
I wish I might
Wish for world peace tonight
One world,
Working as one,
With one common goal,
And 100% love in their soul
Where war and violence does not exist
Just peace, love and harmony
Where evil is not an option
And goodness is the only alternative
Oh Robbie,
Oh Robbie,
Close your eyes,
Mommy has big surprise!
I look to left,
I look to the right,
I covered my eyes really tight
“Oh mommy,”
Oh mommy,”
“What’s the surprise?”
She tippy-toed in and said,
“Open your eyes it’s time for the big surprise!”
I let down my hands,
My eyes widened,
As I nestled with joy
To find a puppy waiting by the door
I jumped up from my seat
And dashed to the door within a second of a heartbeat
“Oh mommy, can we name him Pete?”
She looked at me and chuckled with joy
“Sure, we can Peter!”
I held Pete tightly in my arms,
And loudly I said,
I promise to give you all my love now and forever,
I’ll always keep your love close to my heart
So that we’ll never grow apart.
I promise to take care of you
Even when you get old or sick
I promise to offer you all the happiness I’m capable of giving you,
I promise to set aside time to play and become the best of friends
As time quickly rolls on…
I promise to look back on all the good times with a smile,
The future is ours
To enjoy our time together as you are now a part of our family
From this day on, we have bonded
And every moment we spend together
Will be a special memory to remember
That will be stored in my heart forever…
Dogs are wonderful,
Dogs are great,
Dogs are wonderful to have as your mate,
Dogs bring happiness into our home,
They bring hope into this world
Dogs create a new meaning to life
By helping, you see the world in a different light
They help you see past the clouds on a glooming day
They bring sunlight everyday
Each day has so much more meaning when you wake up to see your best buddy right by your bedside
Dogs love you for who you are
Not what you should be,
They don’t care if you’re in a wheel chair,
They don’t care if you cannot talk,
They don’t care if you have an illness,
Or whatever the case may be,
This is the true meaning of love and friendship
Between an owner and its dog
Each day is a new day to look forward to
Because you know, it will be filled with love, joy and happiness
Given to you by your special friend
Your buddy that stands by your side,
Through thick and thin
Through the good times and the bad
It is no surprise to realize
How my life becomes one happy dream,
One big ball of joy,
As I share it with that special someone,
My buddy,
Chuddy
Dogs teach you the true meaning of love and friendship through their actions,
Whatever love they give to you,
Always remember, it is important to give the same amount of love back
Having a heart filled with gold is useless when you have no one to share it with
So take a moment today,
To give your buddy a big hug,
With lots of love,
Each moment is a memory,
So make it a very special one
One to remember,
One to cherish,
One to hold in your heart forever
The day has just begun
My eyes pop wide open
Feeling warm and fuzzy underneath the soft covers
As I hover up from the covers
I feel an overwhelming sense of joy
As I wake up to a sunny day,
Feeling the warmth of the sun peer through the window shades
It is an exciting feeling,
An inviting feeling
A feeling of joy,
Even better than playing with my favorite toy
“Boom”
I look to the right
With a little bit of fright
Silly me
It’s just my dog Lee
Pushing the door open with his paw
He hopped on the bed
And knocked me right down
As he licked my face
And got right underneath the covers with me
Oh Lee,
I’m so lucky to have you in my life
There’s no better friend than you
You’re so loving,
So kind,
So trusting and warm
You’re as wonderful as the flowers that bloom outside my home
I love you more that my favorite comb
You always make me laugh,
You always make me smile
When I look at you,
I see the beauty of the world that God has created and the window of opportunities it holds.
You give courage,
You give me strength,
I know I will succeed,
Because you are such an inspiration to me,
I know if God created someone as wonderful as you than anything in life is possible
And that all my dreams
Will become a dream come true
Sitting quietly in the corner,
On my comfy crème couch
Gazing out the window
Staring up so high into the sky
As I watch the rain fall in form of a ball
Trickling onto the ground
Pitter, pattering off the cold white cobblestone
Hugging my dog, “Roe and Bow”
Thinking to myself,
Boy, I’m so lucky to have great dogs like you
Snuggling next to me,
So tight,
Never more than an arm away in sight
Always protecting me with all their might
Day and Night
“I love you, Roe and Bow”
I love
Your big, dark eyes,
Your wet little noses,
Shaped like hoses,
Your furry little bodies
Which keep me so warm
Especially, on a cold winter day like today
Their bodies are so small,
Yet their hearts are so big
Filled with lots of love
Pitter-patter,
Pitter-patter,
Their hearts go…
Just like the rain pitter-pattering off the cold white cobblestone
Before my best friend move in, my life was dull
Every day I worked too long and ate so awful.
Something had to change, and I got a dog.
That’s when my life changed from the routine slog.
First we got to know each other in obedience class
Riley was no pup, so he learned really fast
In no time at all we walked twice a day,
Eating for health became a priority, all junk I rescind
Now I have learned to live the right
Don’t underestimate the benefits of your canine friend.
Come winter and the frozen ground is like a magnet for some hounds!! They love the cold air, it powers them up so they can really excel and ring their bell as they will howl and yell!!
It’s a ruff time of year for some of us humans as the trees are bare and a lot of the wild animals hibernate in the cold air!! But If you have a best friend that happens to covered in hair they can show you how to fare and make the most of this winter stare!!
Dogs need to get outside even in the coldest of times so for us it creates a must do which is actually sometimes just the gust we need to get us out and brave the elements indeed!! The crisp cold air can awaken a humans long winter stare and maybe ignite a spark to help us get a start to find a place for this time of year in our heart!!
With the winter and cold solace comes the promise of warmer times which can comfort our colder side though sometimes be a boring ride!!
But instead of wishing time to fly let’s try to enjoy every moment before it goes by!! A dog because of their needs will push us to spend sometime in the colder side!! But as WooFDriver says appreciation is then key to enjoy life and some of the dreams may than ignite!! If we learn to deal with some less comfortable means we will savor the other scenes with more passion and therefore relegate and enjoy time in a more defined and acquired fashion!!
With the cold we can hold the promise of warmth even if it is in the fire that’s indoors!! This can be the view to be that helps us get through some of the less attractive scenes but still stay in hot pursuit of all our dreams!!
