Default I like dogs.
Puppies, doggies are so fun.
I love to see them on the run.
I like to see them at the square
I like to see them everywhere.

I like the big ones and the small
I like them here, one and all.
Not one has ever growled at me.
Or stopped in my yard to take a pee.

I like to see them in a stroller.
I expect to see one wear a bowler.
I've seen them in a sweater and tutu
I've seen them sing a song on you tube.

I don't own a doggie here.
But love the pups who live quite near.
I think The Villages is one of the sweeter places.
With all the canines and their dear faces.

I read your poem to Biggins and LolliPop. They clapped their paws.

Nice poem Gracie. You sure are talented.

I love my son's bulldog because she is so sweet and docile.

Gracie, I read your poem to our two kitties. They just looked at me strangely, licked themselves, then left the room because my reading didn't include any Whisker Lickin's for them.

Default Here is one I have on my wall
MY LOVE FOR MY DOGS
I love my dogs
This is their home
From which I hope
They'll never roam.
They're faithful friends
I love them best
This is their home
You are a guest.
If dogs to you
Are just a peeve
Then by all means
Feel free to leave!!!

Great poems GG & Cisco.

Read them to my little mutt and she came over and licked the computer.
