He licks all the time
loves my edamame, whines
begs for food
and anything from mommy.
Give this dog a bone
it’s a favorite
a treat, you say?
by your side, then away
before you know it.
But this guy’s a Chiweenie
they’re stubborn little guys
rare poop outside
and he tries to hide
his puddles.
A ball he loves
just throw and he goes
comes back with two tho’
for more fun!
What’s this, a halo?
he loves them, too
waits patiently and you
watch him chew juice
and beg for more.
A thief he can be
Poof! Food you see
left alone is “for me”
his jaws chomp freely
on the remains.
Just the rattle of a door
his tail wags, and more
front feet off the floor
he jumps to welcome you home.
Buddy, a hug
when we have a flu bug
or after work we sigh and shrug
you make it all better.

Awwww how adorable! I have a Chiweenie as well, she is soon to be five. Her name is Twinkie and the only thing she loves more than “bawwwwwwwwwwww” (ball, that’s how it sounds when says it with a ball in her mouth, which is how she walks around about 75% of the time) is getting cuddles from her people. Well also chicken. Can’t forget the chicken…
Love this poem and I’m sure I would love Buddy too, whether real or imagined!
Thanks so much! I’m glad you connected with my Chiweenie poem. It was fun doing it!
