Dogs at Christmas (or: A Christmas poem from the dog)

Eyeing hydrants, digging holes,

Drinking from the toilet bowls ...

Playing games of "tug-o'-war,"

Putting scratch marks on your door ...

Rolling over, playing dead,

Getting dog hair on your bed ...

Scaring folks who bring the mail,

Chasing cars, as well as tail ...

Barking, begging, heeling, howling,

And also, on occasion, growling ...

Romping through a field of grass,

Sneezing, snoozing, passing gas ...

Sniffing everything we see,

Peeing on the Christmas tree ...

Woofing, wagging,

chomping, chewing ...

These are things

We sure love doing!

(But we'll try not to do that tree thing ...)
Happy Holidays!
