Pick of the Litter

Who chose whom?

Honey was a lovely dog,

A Labrador of yellow

Her mate went by the name of Champ,

A virile chocolate fellow

 

They had three litters of Lab pups

All as black as coal;

One from litter number three

Would make our family whole

 

We had to choose among the nine,

A difficult decision;

All were so adorable,

All perfect in our vision

 

But one sweet puppy stood out strong

Her temperament arose

When my husband picked her up,

She nipped him on the nose

 

That was it; we knew it then

No need for prolonged fuss

That is how we got our girl ~

Frankie dog chose us!

The dog chooses the owner, Mrs. Sev...

I'm sorry, I couldn't resist the amendment to the Ollivander quote there... A sweet poem, with good rhyme and rhythm. Well done :)

Ha! Clever, you! Thanks, Will!

[Will]

Anytime :)

Very nice Rita. Cute little puppy, but not little for long I think.

[Rita L. Sev]

She's three now - we literally watched her get bigger before our eyes. The cat was not amused... :) Thanks, Jack!

Cats usually aren't amused by anything than themselves.

We were without our old dog (of almost 16 years) for about two weeks when we realized that our home was missing its heartbeat. Found out that one of my students had these two Labs who were having another litter - perfect timing.

We've learned her language, and she, ours.

[Rita L. Sev]

Ah indeed, I've been there too a few times and while every puppy is so cute there's always one that seems to stand out and catch the eye ! ( or the nose )

Frankie is a beauty and a lovely poem to go with his pedigree !

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Tom! She is a beauty, all grown up now.

This is cute! :)
Your rhyming is good; I enjoyed the reading the words you put together.
Great job! Keep up the dog gone good work! (get it?)

[Rita L. Sev]
