That’s Chester there on the ground, Me sitting beside him with the shiny eyes, He is my new buddy, we walk together & play around, Okay so when I met him I had to show I was alpha, Now we are buds like Darla & Alfalfa… He is a bit older, so I try to be with him easy, He has a bad stomach so I don’t want to make him queasy, He’s moving pretty soon, but not very far away, Daddy will take me to see him, at least that’s what he does say… He has a tie-dyed tongue, with dark spots, They say he is a small part Chow, He eats his food and water out of steel pots, He only barks when its me he sees, He’s kinda scruffy, and has some fleas… But still I got someone now to play with, Only that first meeting did we have a tiff, Now we are the best of friends, though he walks kind of slow, Must be because he is twelve & I am nine, I have further to grow… © Rufuz [w00f] 5/28/09

Good for you Rufuz, what a neat pal to go around with a look after. Just be slow for him, as he is older and tires more easily tha you do.
A great photo memory here for always. My daughter Karen takes so many photos of everything, I don't know where she'll put them all next.
A photo bug your Daddy is too, that's alright, always glad to see another one of you whatever you do.

Good Rufus, to respect your elders. Funny poem too. You'd like my Pete a "black lab" who also has a spotted tongue. I'll post a picture for you one day.

Oh Rufuz, it is nice to be good to senior dogs.
You might think about opening a home for the wayward fellows.
They can take regular baths like you...you beautiful dog-you.

Great write Rufuz
I think you should ask your daddy to move him in
I hear theres plenty of kids for him to play with there

Two of my boys have the same thing, and they are both marvelous mutts. Old Chester sounds like a marvelous mutt, and a wonderful pal.

Way to go Rufuz...we all need friends in this world and often the ones we at first least suspect of being compatible with are soon the ones we like the most. Sniff away old buddy.
