Doggie-Kisses

For all our little domestic carnivorous quadrupeds

 

 

“Love anything, even a small animal,

and your heart will surely be broken.”

 

-C. S. Lewis

 

 

Her life is short, her nose is long

A dachshund’s bark is a merry song!

 

Her life is short, her body is long

And how her little paws pad along!

 

Her life is short, her ears are long

Her love is a happy ping to your pong

 

Her life is short, her tail is long

Her eyes are big, her heart is strong

 

Her life is short

But the memories –

O, the memories are long!
