Save

Ya gotta love yer mutts. Hum any bluesy country song...it reads better.

I walked into the kitchen A pot of chili on the range And as I stirred the goodness My furry friend tried to arrange A tripping opportunity No acid was involved She was hoping for a floor show But that was fortunately resolved God bless our furry friends Who see us at our best For all that they ask us in return Is a comfy place to rest There is something that is in her breed That makes her want to herd She’ll push her nose into your feet Her playful guidance is absurd Her destination always crystal clear Her resolve never in doubt To lead me to the treat bin For a crunchy dog handout And God bless our furry friends Who see us at our best For all that they ask us in return Is a comfy place to rest In the evening I sit in my easy chair To reflect on the day’s events I give them each a peanut Expanding waistline it prevents But the summertime doggy pool That doubles as their bowl Turns their chops into dripping mops And my face soon pays the toll And God bless our furry friends Who see us at our best For all that they ask us in return Is a comfy place to rest Copyright 2010 Patrick Granfors

Great poem, Patrick. For one that loves dogs yours sounds like Kody, who's butt is expanding because of those big brown expressive... hungry eyes.

This is precious, Patrick! Dogs truly are amazing friends! My little sweetie pie is asleep in her basket right beside me. She's always...right beside me.

God bless our furry friends
Who see us at our best
For all that they ask us in return
Is a comfy place to rest

God Bless Them, Indeed. They give so much, and ask so little in return.

PS: Our cattle dog, Turbo, even tries to herd our cats - but oddly enough, they don't like it too much!

My good dog Mackey undergoes surgery this morning to remove a cancerous anal tumor and possibly some lymph nodes and may be in the hospital for as long as five days if the cancer has spread to the nodes. They are so precious and as you have pointed out in your marvelous poem they ask for so little but give so much more in return, pure love and affection.
