Happy Dogust First

Poem Artwork
-->“The Universal Birthday,
Of All Rescued Dogs.”

The North Shore Animal League


Music: Who Let The Dogs Out?


August First, Now The Designated Birthday
For all of the rescued dogs, from everywhere
Since we don’t really know the actual birthdays
Of any of the marvelous dogs we rescue out there

I’ve supported this idea from the beginning
Today, I will host a Birthday Party, for Dogs
With lots of Birthday Cake and Canine Treats
My own dogs will be partying high on the hog

The picture is from last year’s Birthday Bash
In it, you will find my Turbo, Tater, and Jack
Our guests included Misty, Marty, and Smiley
Who I suspect, for this year’s gala, will be back

Dogust First is now also a wonderful opportunity
To visit an animal shelter, or your humane society
So many loving, homeless dogs, now need a friend
This Dogust The First, consider filling one with glee

America’s animal shelters are all now sadly overflowing
With canines who have lost their homes to foreclosure
Every dog deserves a second chance, and a loving home
Please help us to help them, in a celebration of starting over

-Please Consider Letting A Very Deserving Dog Out Today-


©Dogust The First 2014, Mr. Ed

Well I'll be doggone! That sure is cute and a wonderful way for dogs to celebrate with you, their rescue, once a year on their birthday. What I can't figure out is how you got them to pose so happily and have that cake remain untouched. Any dog I know in his or her right mind would have dove into that tasty treat the minute it appeared in reach.

But then, I'm sure as well as master rescuer, you are also master trainer, and have told all the dogs to stay… And to pose… And not to touch that cake until you tell them… Or you will give them a nasty bite where they won't like it… Right?

I want to let a dog out of doggy prison but...hey can I join the puppies in their frolic and play, cause my birthday is as well on the way...(PS: if you get caught running naked & howling in the woods don't call me or Ma for bail, we are tired of bailing your bare ass out of human jail...) e
