Our Pal
We went looking for a pet
On a puppy our minds were set
A Black fuzz ball with a boo boo on his head
Caught Amanda’s eye, this is the one she said
He came to us at 13 weeks
Our love he did seek
He was playful, loving and sweet
Having a puppy was so neat
He stole our hearts
Our family he became a part
He liked everyone and wouldn’t hurt a flea
But because of his size people were leery
When him you got to know
You couldn’t help but love him so
Favorite people he had
In their eyes he couldn’t be bad
Ma gave him treats
To him she was so sweet
From us he expected no less
He was spoiled we must confess
When he was but a pup
TV remotes and toys he chewed up
He met his daddy everyday at the door
A head butt to the ribs while in the floor
He always managed to get positioned just right
For Daddy to give him his afternoon delight
Then the scratching would begin
On the butt or under the chin
He would stand there for hours
That Big Black puppy dog of ours
Daddy wasn’t the only one that Pal turned to for attention
Amanda’s rubbing and loving we must mention
Pal’s love for people food
We must include
His favorites Spaghetti and Beef Stew
You know he inhaled instead of chewed
His tags making his bowl ring
Made us laugh and our hearts sing
After dinner walks were a must
Even after he had eaten enough to bust
Grass and crickets were his dessert
And Neighbors stopping to scratch never hurt
It will take time for our broken hearts to mend
But our love for Pal will never end.
We love you and miss you Pal, (LBD, BBD Little Black Fuzzy Puppy Dog, Bud, Buddy Boy)
