Wags her tail to and fro
Ever and ever, she sees me home.
She tries to stand tall and high
Reaching shoulder sans, a sigh!

She’s my alarm clock,
A paw to the face, a wakeup call
Running to me for every call,
jumps and pulls for a treat!

When I leave, she gives tiny barks,
But at the gate? A lion with sparks!
A fierce protector of her land,
yet fearful of ants and cats….!!

Foodie time, is fun and drama
Circles around with glance, for every view
Sniffs once, sniffs twice, maybe three,
like.. “Is this food good enough for me”!

More concerned with the neighbor’s affairs,
Peeking over walls with curious stares.
the window glass—her vanity’s friend,
Checking her face, again and again.!

Some days she’s a lady,
paws crossed, elegant and graceful,
Other times, belly up, viewable from space.
for any mischief, if caught red-handed
Scoots off to her kennel—
Lay as innocence adorned
door and eyes closed!!

Rocky, the diva, the daredevil too,
Every day with her is something new.
From strangers to ants, she's on patrol ..
Beware…. You will laugh and roll  !!
