Buddy – hour 2

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.

  1. 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!
