to guy, with love

there was a little doxie all chubby and round,
who needed a home and then he was found
by his new mom and dad.

my name is now baxter, i have a great home,
tis a life without bother,
due largely in part, to my wonderful father.

so today is the day i celebrate my dad,
cuz everything he does, makes me so glad.

like thanks for keeping me company
and sitting with me on the sofa when mom isn't home.
and thanks for taking me places where i like to roam.

thanks for helping me chase squirrels and bunnies,
even if everyone else thinks it's so funny.

thanks for letting me sleep in the big bed at night,
even when I try to push you out with all my might.

and gracias, dear guy, for cleaning up my poopies
and cutting the grass short,
so i can run and play, all around i cavort.

thank you, dear dad, for working so hard to bring home the bacon,
even though i haven't tasted any of that bacon you're makin.

and thanks for always being there when i need you
even if it's just so i can do a leg lick or two.

for all these things, my thanks i express
thanks for having me at your address!
happy father's day!! :)
