Awesome Verse.

I think that I shall never see A dog as natural as a tree,
For in the ring, what show dog stands
That's shown untouched by human hands?
A dog with ears erect and tall
That never needed tape at all.
A dog that gaits and doesn't quit
Without the "double-handling bit".
A dog with perfect scissors bite
Untouched by dentist in the night.
A dog that stands on lead so loose
Without his owners' "jingling" ruse.
A dog that's truly black and tan
Without the aid of Clairol's can.
A dog with tail that doesn't hook
And wasn't fixed by any crook.
Dog owners, please, this warning heed,
For show dogs aren't a different breed.
Those little tricks that cover faults
Can't cover progeny results!

A Rottie in Agility

This is a story about Gussie Too
Who was laughed at just for wanting something to do
A rottie in agility don't be ridickules
It's a sport for border collies terriors and such
Not for female Rottweilers named Gus
But wait a minute look at that, that dog can run, jump and she
can climb
Oh so what she'll never make the time
The time the time who cares about the time or the ribbins
The fact is we are working as a team despite all the ribbing
You can see the glow in her eyes as we head for the start line
OH come on master faster faster its agility time
Needless to say despite all the laghing and jests
Gussie Too in agility I THINK YOUR THE BEST
