A poem reflecting a dogs twelve days of Christmas. Hope it gives you pause to smile!

   On the first day of Christmas my puppy gave to me,
        The Santa topper from the Christmas Tree.


 On the second day of Christmas my puppy gave to me,
                     Two leaking bubble lights,
         And the Santa topper from the Christmas tree.


  On the third day of Christmas my puppy gave to me,
                       Three punctured ornaments,
                         Two leaking bubble lights,
        And the Santa topper from the Christmas tree.


  On the fourth day of Christmas my puppy gave to me,
                     Four broken window candles,
                      Three punctured ornaments,
                        Two leaking bubble lights,
         And the Santa topper from the Christmas tree.


   On the fifth day of Christmas my puppy gave to me,
                        Five chewed-up stockings,
                     Four broken window candles,
                      Three punctured ornaments,
                        Two leaking bubble lights,
        And the Santa topper from the Christmas tree.


  On the sixth day of Christmas my puppy gave to me,
                        Six yards of soggy ribbon,
                       Five chewed-up stockings,
                    Four broken window candles,
                     Three punctured ornaments,
                      Two leaking bubble lights,
       And the Santa topper from the Christmas tree.


 On the seventh day of Christmas my puppy gave to me,
                 Seven scraps of wrapping paper,
                      Six yards of soggy ribbon,
                      Five chewed-up stockings.
                   Four broken window candles,
                    Three punctured ornaments,
                      Two leaking bubble lights,
       And the Santa topper from the Christmas tree.


 On the eighth day of Christmas my puppy gave to me,
                   Eight tiny reindeer fragments,
                 Seven scraps of wrapping paper,
                      Six yards of soggy ribbon,
                      Five chewed-up stockings,
                   Four broken window candles,
                    Three punctured ornaments,
                     Two leaking bubble lights,
       And the Santa topper from the Christmas tree.


  On the ninth day of Christmas my puppy gave to me,
                      My wreath in nine pieces,
                  Eight tiny reindeer fragments,
                 Seven scraps of wrapping paper,
                      Six yards of soggy ribbon,
                     Five chewed-up stockings,
                   Four broken window candles,
                    Three punctured ornaments,
                     Two leaking bubble lights,
       
 And the Santa topper from the Christmas tree.


  On the tenth day of Christmas my puppy gave to me,
           Ten Christmas cards I should have mailed,
                       My wreath in nine pieces,
                   Eight tiny reindeer fragments,
                 Seven scraps of wrapping paper,
                      Six yards of soggy ribbon,
                     Five chewed-up stockings,
                  Four broken window candles,
                    Three punctured ornaments,
                      Two leaking bubble lights,
       And the Santa topper from the Christmas tree.


 On the eleventh day of Christmas my puppy gave to me,
                     Eleven unwrapped presents,
       Ten Christmas cards I should have mailed,
                      My wreath in nine pieces,
                  Eight tiny reindeer fragments,
                 Seven scraps of wrapping paper,
                      Six yards of soggy ribbon,
                     Five chewed-up stockings,
                  Four broken window candles,
                   Three punctured ornaments,
                    Two leaking bubble lights,
       And the Santa topper from the Christmas tree.


On the twelfth day of Christmas my puppy gave to me,
                        A dozen puppy kisses.....
        And I forgot all about the other eleven days.

This is absolutely adorable! It should be recorded!
And, as a new puppy-owner, I specially like the last few lines.
Puppy kisses -- all is well

Smiling,
