I took Rufuz today to Pet Smart,

For a wash & trim, a gift from my heart,

He doesn’t get done very often,

And I know he like me does not like to be apart…

His first reaction was not to go into the shop,

Once there he DID NOT like being left,

Most of his time in his life is spent with his pop,

No more though will he look like an overused dust mop…

Does just as much for me, leaving him, give me pain,

He is as close to me as is a kid, I know I don’t have to explain,

All the time he is gone, I worry & fret, seemingly driving me insane,

Its been four hours now, nothing around this house,

Can for me, with him gone, entertain…
