Dog poems

I had a little poodle
His coat was silver grey
One day I thought I'd bath him
To wash the dirt away.
I washed my little poodle
Then dried him with a towel.
My poodle seemed to like his bath
He didn't even growl. 
---------------------------------------------
My puppy has a doghouse,
just outside my door.
He licks me when I pet him,
and wags his tail for more.
He's always there beside me,
no matter what I do.
My puppy is my special friend,
and a family member, too.
---------------------------------------------
It's funny
my puppy
knows just how I feel.
When I'm happy
he's yappy
and squirms like an eel.
When I'm grumpy
he's slumpy
and stays by my heel.
It's funny
my puppy
knows such a great deal.
-------------------------------------------------
My dog listens when I talk
He goes with me for a walk
When I sleep, he sleeps too.
He does everything that I do.
When my sister/brother/friend makes me mad,
He hangs his head and looks so sad.
He cuddles up and licks my hand
And tells me he can understand.
----------------------------------------------------------------
There was a wee lassie called Maggie,
Whose dog was ENORMOUS and shaggy;
The front end of him
Looked vicious and grim...
But the tail end was friendly and waggy!
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Pet Shopping 
While shopping at the pet store
I got my fondest wish.
I bought myself a fish bowl
and then a pair of fish.
And since I was already
out shopping at the store
I thought I ought to purchase
another smidgen more.
And so I got a rabbit,
a hamster and a frog,
a gerbil and a turtle,
a parrot and a dog.
I purchased an iguana,
a tortoise and a rat,
an eight-foot anaconda,
a monkey and a cat.
A guinea pig, a gecko,
a ferret and a mouse,
and had them all delivered,
directly to my house.
My sister went berzerko!
She's now installing locks,
because I said her bedroom
would be their litter box!

A Tribute To A Dog
The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world,
The one that never deserts him,
The one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog.
A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness.
He will sleep on the cold ground,
where the wintry winds blow and snow drives fiercely,
if only he may be near his master's side.
He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer;
He will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter
with the roughness of the world.
He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince.
When all other friends desert, he remains.
When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces,
he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens.
-- Senator George Vest, 1870 --

TODAY,S POEM
I,m shut behind this stair gate
and only 6 months old.
my owners say I pee and chew and don,t do what I,m told.
I try to be a good dog like the greyhound in the hall.
But Blossom,s 10 and sleeps a lot
And thats no fun at all!
I,d like to be the other side, don,t want to be alone,
But chewing everything in sight is more fun than a bone!
I,ll have to try much harder to do the things I should.
Then I might hear the words:
"oh Flora! you are so good!"

Ode to a Dog
You are one in a million & special to me.
Affectionate, loyal, such good company.
You're there when I'm lonely & life seems a bore.
You cheer me & offer a comforting paw.
The look in your eyes says you quite understand
as you thrust a bewhiskered wet nose in my hand.
You never desert me wherever I go.
You're a far better friend than some people I know.
To thank you I give you this short monologue
My Faithful, Devoted Companion - My Dog!

A dog's Prayer
Treat me kindly, my beloved master for no heart in the world is more grateful for kindness than the loving heart of me.
Do not break my spirit with a stick, for though I lick your hand between the blows, your patience and understanding will more quickly teach me the things you would have me do.
Speak to me often, for your voice is the world's sweetest music, as you know by the fierce wagging of my tail when your footstep falls upon my waiting ear.
When it is cold and wet, please take me inside, for I am now a domesticated animal, no longer used to bitter elements. And I ask no greater glory than the privilege of sitting at your feet beside the hearth. Though had you no home, I would rather follow you through ice and snow than rest upon the softest pillow in the warmest home in all the land, for you are my god, and I am your devoted worshiper.
Keep my pan filled with fresh water, for although I should not reproach you were it dry, I cannot tell you when I suffer thirst.
Feed me clean food, that I may be well, to romp and play and do your bidding, to walk by your side, and stand ready, willing and able to protect you with my life should your life be in danger.
And, beloved master, should the Great Master see fit to deprive me of my health or sight, do not turn me from you. Rather hold me gently in your arms as skilled hands grant me the merciful boon of eternal rest⦠and I will leave you knowing with the last breath I drew, my fate was ever safest in your hands.

He is your friend, your partner, your defender, and your dog. You are his life, his love, and his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.
Dogs are linked to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring, it was peace.

Just A Dog
From time to time, people tell me, "lighten up, it's just a dog,"
or, "that's a lot of money for just a dog."
They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for "just a dog."
Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a dog."
Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a dog,"
but I did not once feel slighted.
Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by "just a dog,"
and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a dog" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.
If you, too, think it's "just a dog," then you will probably understand
phrases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a promise."
"Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust,
and pure unbridled joy.
"Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patience that make me a better person.
Because of "just a dog", I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future.
So for me and folks like me, it's not "just a dog" but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future,
the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.
"Just a dog" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away
from myself and the worries of the day.
I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a dog",
but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being
"just a man or woman."
So the next time you hear the phrase "just a dog"
just smile...
because they "just don't understand."

beautiful Karen. I think i will forward that to my friend whos dog sadly was diagnosed with cancer and had to be pts last weekend.
Those people who say Just a Dog have never had the real pleasure of the true loyalty and devotion these wonderful creatures bring to 'just a human' do they.
