Puppy

Taken from mother and siblings, moved to new home Strange, full of fresh smells, lessons to be learnt Meeting two-legged ones becoming lifelong friends. Playful puppy, messing carpets, gnawing furniture Ripping wallpaper, full of play, being house-trained. Loving little joyful clown lifting family spirits Enjoying new adventures, discovering garden Chasing ball, going on walks, meeting other dogs. Sniffing, marking trees, exploring with excited wonder Precious little puppy, much loved by human family Squeaky toys, resting sleepily on human laps Always wanting to please the two-legged ones Greeting them home, tail wagging barking welcome.
