My Dog Keeps Me Sane!

Check out the newest dog poem : Staying Sane in an Insane world

MY DOG IS MY FRIEND, HE DOES NOT BOTHER ME WITH DEMANDS...
HE ASKS NOTHING EXCEPT AN OCCASIONAL PAT ON HIS HEAD...
HE IS ALWAYS THERE REGARDLESS OF HOW FICKLE MY HUMAN FRIENDS ARE
HE IS NOT JEALOUS
HE IS NOT DISHONEST
HE IS ALWAYS TRUSTWORTHY
HE WILL USUALLY DO WHAT I TELL HIM
HE DOES NOT NAG ME NOR INTERFERE WITH MY DAILY LIFE....


EVEN IF HE IS NOT TRAINED TO DO OTHER THINGS THERE
ARE CERTAIN THINGS HE FEELS IT HIS DUTY TO DO REGARDLESS.....

HE MAKES CERTAIN MY LIFE IS ORGANIZED;
HE NEVER FORGETS WHAT TIME IT IS
WHEN IT IS DINNER TIME HE LETS ME KNOW
WHEN IT IS POTTY TIME HE WILL ALSO TELL ME (USUALLY)
WHEN THERE ARE STRANGERS AT THE DOOR HE WILL LET ME KNOW TOO!
HE ALSO HAS TO WARN AWAY STRANGE ANIMALS FROM THE YARD
AND BARK AT THE UPS GUY
AND WAG AT THE NEIGHBOR KIDS
AND MAKE SURE THE BONES HE BURIED LAST YEAR ARE STILL IN THEIR PROPER PLACE....
HE BRINGS ME HIS STICK SO I CAN THROW IT FOR HIM..
HE CARRIES HIS LEASH FOR ME WHEN I AM TOO TIRED TO HOLD IT AND EVEN WHEN I AM NOT......
HE CLEANS OFF MY DISHES FOR ME IF I SET THEM DOWN FOR HIM .....
(IF HE COULD HE WOULD PUT THEM IN THE CUPBOARD TOO!)
HE TIDIES UP THE HOUSE FOR ME
AND PUTS THINGS AWAY WHERE HE THINKS THEY SHOULD GO
HE HELPS TO HOLD ME UP WHEN I AM STANDING
BY LEANING ON ME
HE CLEANS MY FACE WHEN IT IS DIRTY
AND OTHER PARTS OF MY BODY TOO!!

MOST OF ALL.....
HE HELPS ME TO STAY SANE IN AN INSANE WORLD.
