Ex-loyal dog for hire

Ex-Loyal Dog for Hire…


 


Yes it is true ,


Rufuz has gotten his walking papers,


After the bathing incident,


Perpetrated by the neighbors and him,


I find myself unable to retain his services,


As he is less than loyal, so yes I did him, fire…


 


A new advertisement for a dog for hire is forthcoming,


No longer will Rufuz go through life humming,


Destroyed he did the last vestiges of loyalty to me,


He went along with the neighbors “shower” party; yes he was succumbing,


Perhaps I can get him a job cleaning pipes, yes plumbing…


 


And don’t you be out there with the poor, poor Rufuz stuff,


It was his idea or so I am told, at least he did contribute the idea that at the time was rough,


My daddy, he said, does need a bath; lets tie him to “Ruf” of his car,


Thereby killing two dirty birds with one bath, he and “my” car,


Now Rufuz is, in the neighborhood, a kind of a star,


I just want to see how distant he can find a job, yes away very far…

Em... forgive and forget. Perhaps he just missed seeing his daddy, hidden under the layers of dirt. It's really quite sweet, if you think about it. Sigh.... now kiss and make up... NOW! (you can pay me later for saying that, Ruffie... I trust you for the money). hehehe... katy xox

Don't do that to Rufuz; think of all the good times you have had together! I am sorry you are having problems with him; send him our way; we could let him stay with us, but then we have to do a lot of serious bartering with our landlord, to see if she can bend the rules a little...

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :(

o, no you don't. don't you dare fire rufuz. after all of these years of loyal service, one slip up and you're giving him the boot? give him another chance; perhaps he got in the musCATel. :) if not, ruffie boy, you can come to texas. i'll somehow persuade the landlord to let you stay. :)

(((HUGS))) and love, karla. :(
