animal, best friend, dog, humorous, love, pets, thanks,
Your dad, a Dachshund once stuck in Chihuahua.
The best of both in you, with that expectant
Confusing carpets for the lawn enigma.
I know….the raining….getting wet….you can’t.
As coldness chills the room, a sheet for you.
The perfect tucking of in, but you moved!
I ponder, just how crazy is my Boo?
The sheet’s thread count too low to be approved?
Your dance in circles, spinning on the floor.
Rewards and treasures known upon the racks.
Induced by meals and that one pantry door.
In such a fury, choking on the snacks.
I know what God’s book says, I’ve searched it whole.
But still, I hope you have a little soul.

animal, dog,
She watched him hide his pretty wares,
When the Easter Bunny came.
And as the children ran in pairs,
She joined into the game.
Their short legs were longer than
The short ones that she wore.
For each egg going in their pans,
She found a dozen more.
We tried to take them from her and
She'd look at us and grin.
Her mouth was faster than our hands
As another egg went in.
I've had dogs that were more faithful
And superior in their size,
But at being glad and gleeful,
Happy Muffin won the prize.
Grandchildren love to hear the story
Of little Muffin and the eggs
And of how God took her up to Glory
On her little Dachshund legs.

Oh,
There's no greater feeling,
Than to be a mom again,
Four little paws,
A wet little nose,
Oh,
Jelly beans for little toes,
Floppy ears,
Short little legs,
Those big eyes that always beg,
Oh,
The lottery you would think,
We had won,
When I go to pick out,
My little Dachshund.

dog, happiness, heart, love,
A sweet new pup
came into my life
So young is he
but sadly you see
Already
I am his third Mum
Abandoned twice
Through no fault of his own
He lived in a dog sanctuary
And as soon as I saw him
this darling Dachshund
came home to live here with me
Giving such joy
this sweet gorgeous boy
His previous name was Mouse
An unusual name
but then again
‘tis fun having Mouse in my house
Some folks call them sausage dogs
although not me
a sausage
nor a mouse is he
He's a darling Dachshund
who has stolen my heart
when he came home to live here with me
