| Our poodle when we adopted him |
We brought him home when he was only three
A nervous, passive, scruffy dog, but he
Accepted us as family without doubt
And taught us all what love is all about.
His big black eyes hold not a bit of guile
I swear that I can even see him smile
And when he wags his fluffy little tail
I know, at least with him, I cannot fail
His head rests on my pillows in my bed
He listens to me when I’m feeling bleak
He knows just what to say; he doesn’t speak
The wonders of the world are large and small
The love of a good dog can beat them all.

I so agree! This was wonderful...and reminds me how much I love my four legged family member! A hound with attitude and an amazing body clock ;D
I love this poem~
I totally agree. I have not been without a canine companion since I was 22! Your buddy is such a cutie pie.
I see your dog likes Christmas. Mine likes Halloween; he ate 8 pounds of candy one year, chocolate, wrappers and all. I thought he was dead for sure, but his gut must be one of the wonders of the world.
Oh you know how much I love your poem! Dogs really are one of the wonders of the world. I'm so happy he found a home with you. It sounds like he really needed one.

LOVE! Our pets are wonderful and wondrous, too. Cannot imagine life without them.
So sweet... I have two dogs to love right now. Yours is adorable.
No pup in our house anymore. I miss that sometime. Your poem is beautiful and so very true about having a dog
Dog-love, truly a wondrous thing.
Good choice of subject!
Dogs....the purest souls the Universe e'er made............

All of my dogs have been rescue dogs. They aren't always perfect, but they are always perfect for me.
Thank you, dear.
...Oh, I needed this and YES, this is so true. For a moment I thought this was "in memory of" ... so glad it was just a "thankful" piece of poetry. (and what a sweet face!)
So sweet. I love poodles. I had similar hair in the 80's!
In complete agreement with your sentiments. Well said.
