BECAUSE “SIT” HAPPENS…

Trained was Rufuz after we adopted him,

Learned very fast, never drank over the rim,

Smart was he, but he never did like getting a trim,

Nor did he like baths, of water he did cringe…

Passed over by so many, they felt he was too much to handle,

Never did he ever create, in our neighborhood a scandal,

He did however, more than once, tear up and eat both my sandals,

Since, he has learned only to eat shoes when on my feet,

Always attacking his daddy, trying to knock him down a few feet…

Plays with the ball, chases sticks he does,

Rolls in the grass, prefers the snow, nice to everyone he does know,

Only on daddy does he nibble a bit too much, and growls when we play,

He is just way, way too much & such…

When first we adopted him,

Told we were, he an attitude towards men,

Bounded up to Rene & licked her cheek,

Growled he did and readily showed his teeth to me,

Just look who he has bonded too now, ain’t I just too lucky?
