What is a Pet?

                A pet is such a special friend,
                   A friend in many ways.
               Sharing love and companionship,
                Just looking for your praise.
               The clever things they often do
                 Bring a smile to your face;
                 And so to them I dedicate,
                This small but special place...

THE PEKINGESE

 NATIONAL ANTHEM

                     The Pekingese...
                    disdain to please...
                     on any set design
                    But make a thrall...
                      of one and all...
                   by simple right Divine.
                     The Pekingese...
                    abstain from fleas...
                 and doggy things like that
                    And hate it when...
                     unthinking men...
                  compare them to the cat
                     The Pekingese...
                   have feathered knees...
               and plumes where tails should be
                    And as they race...
                    around the place...
                   they ripple like the sea
                     The Pekingese...
                     adore their ease...
                  and slumber like the dead
                    In comfort curled...
                   they view the world...
                    as one unending bed
                     The Pekingese...
                     on China's seas...
                  embarked to win the west
                    A piece of Ming's...
                      a lovely thing...
                         but oh,
                   THE DOGS ARE BEST!
