Evicted From Bed (Dog related)

 Here I am.... it's 5 AM!
  (I should be "sawin' Logs")........
  But I can't sleep, because I've been
  EVICTED, by my DOG!!!
  I crawled in bed 6 hours ago,
  determined I would sleep,
  but then, my puppy yarked, "Oh, NO!!!....
  get up and WALK me, creep"!
  Insulted by my puny pup!
  What HAS the world come to ?!?
  Alas, to walk him, I got UP.....
  (What else was I to do)??
  When to the bed I did return,
  I thought, "I'll slumber now"!
  But pupster said, "WHEN will  you learn!!
  It's time to have a ROW"!!
  ..and so, he woke the pussycat....
  they had a merry chase....
  across the bed, they bounced and spat....
  and had a rousing race!
  About the bedroom, round and round,
  my frenzied pets went dashing....
  the knick-knacks on the sill came down,
  venetian blinds a-crashing!
  A hurricane of tail and claw,
  of "hiss" and "yip" and "yark",
  I, getting grumpy, tossed my feather pillow
  ......in the dark.......
  ..And THEN, the sheets, and blanket flew!!!
  All tangled, off the bed!
  I scowled at them, and said, "I'm Through"!!
  "That's what we HOPED"!, they said!
  With smug expressions on each face,
  they seemed to "snicker" there,
  as, grumbling, I gave up my place.....
  "I'm sleeping IN THE CHAIR"!!
  "Hooray"!! (Quoth they)......"We ran you out"....
  the evil creatures said....
  "We'll see you when the sun comes up.....
  we'd like our eggs in BED"!
  So hear I sit , in misery,
  no place to lay my head.....
  my pets have quite successfully
  EVICTED me from bed!!  :(

Flight of An Angel

by Pam Thiess
I remember the day that you came.
So unhappy, your eyes cast down in shame.
Why would someone give you up?
They'd had you since you were a pup.
What would your story be, sweet one?
Did your family grow tired of the doggie fun?
Or maybe you just got old and gray,
No longer moved fast, and just got in the way.
You were so scared, so unsure,
As the person that you loved left you at the door.
I called you by name, told you it would be all right;
I put my arms around your neck and held you so tight.
As time went on and I earned your trust,
Manners and training were a must.
And I know that we made quite a pair.
Another page turns in foster care.
Not every day was hearts and flowers, you know this much is true,
But as a team we kept on trying and saw it all the way through.
We spent much time chasing demons; consistency was the key.
But little did I realize I needed you as much as you needed me.
The time has come, my Golden one, look how much you've grown.
There's a family who wants a dog to love for their very own.
You have to move on, as another needs your space.
I know you are ready now, the wag of your tail,
that smile on your face.
I took notes and pictures, right from the start.
But the best memory I have of you is etched deeply in my heart.
I will not say goodbye, as that is forever.
Our bond is special, I'll forget you never.
So spread your wings, my precious one, the world is waiting for you.
Soar high, and fly, and begin your life anew.
