SNUFFLES FRIENDS

.

Snuffles has lots of friends

Everywhere we walk.

Whimpers behind a wooden fence

At times the only way to talk.

.

Rascal is special, a Pomeranian is he,

But Snuffles really likes them all,

Their gender does not matter

Not if very long or even rather tall.

.

We go walking at the break of day.

When the first light hits his eyes,

He’s ready to go for that morning walk,

Wakes mom, and to Teddy says goodbye.

.

Now, this is a big event for a dog

At the break of day and sundown too.

He says hello to Pacho, they dance

Pacho’s hair kept cut in a crew.

.

Pacho is another Shi Tzu

With his mom and dad in toe,

Kindred spirits, Oh my yes!

But after the dance we must go!

.

At the park he leads me

A female Poodle lives near.

Just one sniff was all it took

For him to never forget her!

.

Now, further down the sidewalk

Is a house where Gabby lives.

She sits on the window seat like ours,

A lean and lovely Basset Hound, she is.

.

You hear her deep throated Woof

As Snuffles peeks through the fence,

She sits on the window seat waiting

But is rarely in his presence.

.

As we continue our walk it is clearly

Not mine, but his time of day.

There are things he must do but with

Little black bags scooped away.

.

There are more homes he must check out,

The Pekinese and of course big brown dog.

He sniffs their fences for signs

To see if their traces were logged.

.

There is a Jack Russell, Bo Bo,

The cocker Spaniel Lacey I believe,

How could I forget Bailey?

The beautiful Golden Retriever.

.

Snuffles is just a dog you see

His life is simple, well spent.

He is blessed with love and truly adored

And can't pay one cent for rent!
