Once a little brown log
but warm and cute as anything,
with a moist charcoal coloured nose
and excited eyes like a roaring fire
Now he has transformed into a marvellous, although still small,
Proud pet of mine

Camouflaged in Autumn leaves
He stands there waiting;
Peggy by his side; toys everywhere.
Suddenly… Tails go mad and
Warm fires blazing in his eyes

“Out you come”
Jumping up so high nearly exploding with excitement
licking tongues, enthusiastic minds greeting us

Splashing in the water,
He doesn’t mind getting wet
Too busy pond-dipping for algae
and scurrying for yummy things to eat

Just a dog some will think
But there's the mistake
He is a part of my life
and treat him like a priceless jewels

I love each other to the moon and back
He’s there when i’m sad and there when i’m happy
