My dog will never starve to death
oh no,
He barks and growls each night
before his bowl
Oh woe is me if I'm not quick
to fill it up
For he will knock me down
to get his sup
I feed him at the same time
every day
For he would eat non-stop if
he had his way
Daylight savings time is here
I plumb forgot
Our scheduled feeding time
has gone to pot
To hear him wail and bite my heels
an extra hour
Tells me in no uncertain terms
who is in power

There's little doubt you've heard it said
that dogs are man's best friend
Their loyalty is true, where others' fade
She'll stand beside you, steadfast,
and defend you to the end
Forgiving the transgressions that you've made.
When you've important things to do
She'll smile and not complain
or grumble that you never take her out
and if you leave her home
you can be sure that she'll remain
your faithful friend, there'll never be a doubt!
If she goes to the littlest room,
it won't be for an hour,
She's just going to get herself a drink.
If you come home a little late
She'll never scowl or glower
or raise the roof and make an awful stink.
In fact, it's quite the opposite,
..the later that you are,
the happier she'll be at your return.
So you need not ever worry
when you're leaning on the bar
that she'll be cold, aloof and taciturn.
your dog will always understand..
..to get your point across
sometimes you really have to raise your voice!
And she will always realize
her master is the boss
and in that knowledge she will but rejoice!
If you pat her on her bottom
her delight will be quite clear,
no quest for hidden motives will be sought!
And there'll be no repercussions
and no need to cringe in fear
if you play with other dogs and you get caught.
Your dog will never ask about
the other dogs you've had
Because your dog just doesn't want to know.
Expensive rings and shiny things
are not a doggie's fad
so she won't run your bank account too low.
But doggies have one drawback though
you'd best not overlook..
Though she's a warm and faithful friend,
She'll be a rotten cook!

I've never seen a dog that sheds
the way my Buddy does.
I brush and brush and brush and brush
and get fuzz and fuzz and fuzz.
If I wait a day or two
before I think to groom,
after I am finished, I almost
wear out the broom.
He is quite a busy doggie
playing ball and such.
I wonder where he finds the time
for his hair to grow so much.
It isn't only summer time
when he sheds off his hair.
It's all year long, consistently...
I'm amazed some's left to wear!
