The Dog Blog returns with a Pet Poem!

WOOOFFF! It’s me, Bobby, in my bohemian artist’s beret.  I’ve been having such a quiet, snoozy June that I almost forgot to put in my entry to my Mum’s Pet Poem Competition! Now I don’t have email, so I’m going to put my poem right here. But if YOU”VE got an entry, you have to email it to my Mum’s address at sarah@auspicioustimes.com – so there!

Here’s my poem:

I LOVE MY PET

I love my pet; she is the best

Though sometimes she can be a pest.

I take her walking every day

And give her lots of games to play

Like Fetch the Lead or Find the Shoe…

I let her scratch my tummy too.

But even though I make her laugh

She won’t forget my weekly bath

Nor will my most annoying pet

Cancel my visits to the Vet!

She makes me sad, she makes me glum

But in the end, she’s still my MUM!

Bobby Dazzler, Dog Poet Extraordinaire
