She came to me at five weeks old

a bundle of joy a most 

definite beauty to behold 

Six months old and she tripled in size

Curiosity rode high

in her amber wolf eyes 

 

Her stubborn streak began she started

to balk at my commands – She’d dart for the door

and she ran and ran 

 

She decided she was boss

of my little docile

Leaving me with a huge sense of loss

 

My little grandson had come 

to live with us now, an obstinate 

wolf pup would have to go

 

The trainer came and took her 

away to stay with him then he 

could find another home for her there 

Miserable I was and cried every night

without her by my side

I slept in a constant state of fright 

 

Three long months later 

I gave the trainer a call 

I can’t do without her, no not at all

His voice betrayed the smile

I could not see, you’ve just received 

three months training for free!
