Bad puppy

Oh puppy,

With eyes of blue,

you pissed on the floor,

so screw you,

Oh puppy.

with white fur

you ate my shoe

and then the furniture too

Oh puppy,

with ears that are floppy 

you've made a mess of the trash,

why are you so sloppy?

Oh puppy,

With a big heart

I see you every day as I walk passed your grave,

it reminds me of the days, nothing could keep us apart

I can’t help it. Dogs get to me every time. Literally cried about the dog in a 30 second Budweiser commercial. So as a dog lover I’m biased, but I feel this one.

I love that you used the word “puppy” because it just emphasized the playful heart of the dog and you did such a good job describing the conflicting feelings one can feel about their pet.

The end just tore me apart, but I enjoyed the read!

reminds me of listening to Elvis Presley singing "Old Shep"---

our pets can do such annoying things, but when they are gone, we sure miss those "annoying things."
