Continuing Saga With Dusty

I heard you crying
No one could Sleep
So I decided to go outside
to take a quick peek

I figured it was like every time before
You just wanted to come in my door

You surprised me this time
And I felt ashamed
All the names
I had said
and all the things
I had planned to do
The first was something
about grabbing a shoe

When I opened the door
No wagging tail did I see
No sad puppy eyes
Looking back at me

I followed your sound
and there you was
How many times
will you need rescued
before you learn
Your legs are short
and belly to fat
Sorry puppy, but fact is fact!

I found you where you had fell
Butt first in a five gallon pail
You was lucky this time
water just a few inches
The look on your face
left me in "stitches"

I brought you in
as you knew I would
Sad little puppy eyes
looking back at me
I dried you off
and wrapped you up
You naughty little
clumsy pup
I tucked you in
with my son this night
I know in awhile I'll
again have to run to see
what up.

How Long again will you be
a pup?
