Our Pal

We went looking for a pet On a puppy our minds were set A Black fuzz ball with a boo boo on his head Caught Amanda’s eye, this is the one she said He came to us at 13 weeks Our love he did seek He was playful, loving and sweet Having a puppy was so neat He stole our hearts Our family he became a part He liked everyone and wouldn’t hurt a flea But because of his size people were leery When him you got to know You couldn’t help but love him so Favorite people he had In their eyes he couldn’t be bad Ma gave him treats To him she was so sweet From us he expected no less He was spoiled we must confess When he was but a pup TV remotes and toys he chewed up He met his daddy everyday at the door A head butt to the ribs while in the floor He always managed to get positioned just right For Daddy to give him his afternoon delight Then the scratching would begin On the butt or under the chin He would stand there for hours That Big Black puppy dog of ours Daddy wasn’t the only one that Pal turned to for attention Amanda’s rubbing and loving we must mention Pal’s love for people food We must include His favorites Spaghetti and Beef Stew You know he inhaled instead of chewed His tags making his bowl ring Made us laugh and our hearts sing After dinner walks were a must Even after he had eaten enough to bust Grass and crickets were his dessert And Neighbors stopping to scratch never hurt It will take time for our broken hearts to mend But our love for Pal will never end. We love you and miss you Pal, (LBD, BBD Little Black Fuzzy Puppy Dog, Bud, Buddy Boy)
