[ There Is Nothing Better Than Having A Dog In Your Life ]
[ She Is Totally Different ]
[ Than A Child Or Wife ]

[ Whereas A Person Can Be Judgemental About You ]
[ That Is Not Something ]
[ A Dog Will Do ]

[ A Dog Is Loyal As All Get Out ]
[ When It Comes To People ]
[ There Is A Whole Lot Of Doubt ]

[ A Dog Could Be Overzealous ]
[ About Treats Or Toys ]
[ A Dog Would Never Become Jealous ]
[ Of Other Girls Or Boys ]

[ My Dog Does Become Tense ]
[ When Some One ]
[ Or Another Dog Comes Near Our Back Fence ]

[ Three Meals For Her A Day Does Her Just Fine ]
[ But When I’m Eating ]
[ She Does Beg & Whine ]
[ For Something Of Mine ]

[ & That Really Doesn’t Bother Me In The Least Bit ]
[ I Can’t Give Her Much ]
[ If I Want Her To Stay Lean & Fit ]

[ Spending Time With Just Me Always Makes Her Day ]
[ That Is Why She Misses Me So Much ]
[ If I’ve Been Away ]

[ She Gets So Happy To See Me When I Come Through The Door ]
[ When I Reach Down To Pet Her ]
[ She Always Wants More ]

[ To Most, It Is Not Known ]
[ That Some Dogs Will Love To Fetch An Antler Bone ]

[ Much Better Than They Would Ever Do Running After
A Tennis Ball ]
[ Whenever I Pick Up That Bone ]
[ She Will Always Answer The Call ]

[ She Seems To Think It Is Nice ]
[ When I Give Her Water With Ice ]

[ She Seems To Drink More When That Is The Case ]
[ She Must Like The Feel Of It Being Cold ]
[ Or She Loves The Taste ]
[ & When The Water Gets Old ]
[ I Throw It Away As Waste ]

[ I Try Show Her The Love & Loyalty ]
[ That She Shows Me ]

[ I Will Try, Try & Try ]
[ Until I Lie Down & Die ]
