A Georgia Dog Version of Christmas
'Twas the morning of Christmas
And in our warm home,
Loose dog hair was wafting
Like snowfall in Nome!
My hubby was snuggled
Down warmly in bed,
Memories of dogs past
A-twirl in his head.
And I, at my 'puter
Been here a while,
Also thinking of dogs
With a tiny, small smile.
Now, Aleks, here Kosie
Oh, Mouth, Dean and BeeDee...
Hey Rhapsody, Mushka
Bruce and dear Addie.
Thanks for your love
Your humor and badness,
Thanks for life lessons
Through happy and sadness.
We share our home now
With Chapin and Billy,
With red-headed Bonnie
And Duffy, so silly!
Ours are Siberians
Fuzzy and funny,
Living in Georgia
So warm and so sunny.
Remember your own dogs
Both living and gone.
The love that they left you
Lives on and on.
And we heard them proclaim
As they raced down the hall,
Woo-wooo-wooo wooo to you,
and Merry Christmas to all!
No matter what you celebrate this time of year...Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, the solstice, whatever...may your season be joyous, may your dogs be right about you, and may 2009 be your best year yet!
