It’s a thousand-mile stare into your soul. We’ve nicknamed her The Scientist for the way she studies the world, with every look a new eureka moment fires up in her mysterious mind. I’m pretty sure she can read me — in fact, I have definite proof that she can and that she will anticipate my own thoughts before I even think them — however, what she does with that information is the true enigma. How ...
I have looked everywhere for someone to teach me what you already know.
The pounding of your too-large-for-you paws on the stairs tells me joy is a serious business,
The bone, lovingly chewed and then dropped, without preamble, on my still-sleeping head says play won't wait one more second.
Why bow to the tedium when running so hard you fall down laughing is an option.
And food? Each little morse...
(Based on a post I saw)
In a magical world
With a magic cafe
There’s a simple sweet dragon
That makes crème brûlée
His bumpy nose twitches
His tiny eyes hope
That his hard work
Will be super dope
The dragon’s name is Stephan
He’s the man
His sharp ears listen
His claws click when he lands
He sneezes fire
(Thoroughly well-done)
He’s faithful and loyal
He’s in it for fun!
He cuddles
And sighs...
This animal is a little over a year old boy. He feels soft and loves to be pet unless he is in a bad mood or hungry, then he will run away or swat you with his paw. He loves to take naps on blankets. He loves when the sun comes in through the window and he can lay in it on the floor and sun bathe. He sometimes likes to spill his water bowl and then tracks paw prints all over the house. He gets in ...
I still remember the first time I saw you in the pet store. All the other puppies were yapping and jumping and wagging their tails, but you didn’t join in. Instead, you tumbled. Tumbled all over your little playpen, tumbled over your reproachful brothers and sisters, into my hands when I first tried to pick you up. Somehow, when you didn’t tumble out again, I knew you were the puppy for me.

Loyal and protective
Some fear you, many love you
You’re very often so docile
They say so much that isn’t true.
Perfect companion for kids
But evildoers beware!
Come mess up with me
And face my dog if you dare.
Your origin is Germanic
But now you’re everywhere
One day I’ll adopt one like you
Of each other well be taking care.
(My favourite dog. Which?)...
Mewing at all hours of the night
Baking biscuits oh so right
Little lad ran away for four days
Don’t know how to make him pay
Everyone hates him, call him baseborn
He just has a hard time living up to what came heretofore
Mewing at all hours of the night
Dusk to dawn, hates when the curtains are drawn
Very soft little lad, but he’s a trap!
Let’s let the little guy take a catnap
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
