A Valentine poem...

 Valentines Day.  That day when greeting card manufacturers, candy makers, jewelers and florists wake up and praise the heavens for Saint Valentine – a priest back around the year 270 who was beheaded for …hmm…marrying people when it was not allowed.  So.  He basically suffered for his faith and for romance.  He would be shocked to see what an impact he has had...  I’m sure he could NEVER have imagined dogs dressed in ridiculous attire – all in his name!  But we did it.  All for a treat.  The photos you see are the five good shots out of 1638 taken.  Humans.

But anyway… today – I have written a special Valentine for my human.  So here goes…

                                 

To my human…

Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

You take us on walks,

You pick up our poo.

 

    We steal your mittens,

    We jump on your bed,

We bark incessantly

While waiting to be fed.

         You brush us and groom us

         While we squeak and complain,

         You have great patience

         While we drive you insane.

 

We make you laugh

We make you cry

You teach us about manners

And SOMETIMES we try.

We snuggle and cuddle

And love belly rubs from you,

We give you big licks

And giant wags too.

We’re happy you picked us

And we’ll protect you till the end

We love you – our human –

From you very best friend. 

Oh.  And his brothers too.

Happy Valentines Day everyone!!!
