That Old Dog Rupe!!

I have a lovely dog
Rupert is his name
Without my gorgeous dog
I'd likely go insane

His mother was a beagle
A Labrador was his dad
It was meant to be a beagle
But the Labrador was bad

He lies around all day
Lazy on my bed
And leaves lots of dog hair
Where I rest my head

The hair goes up my nose
It often makes me sneeze
And I think I am allergic
As it often makes me wheeze

but....
I love that I'm on the top
Of his 'Doggy loves you' list
He often climbs up on my lap
And gives me a licky kiss

He climbs up on my lap
When I try to watch TV
But he is kind of big
So it means I cannot see

He's better than my husband
I know that's not what you expect
But I can give my dog a cuddle
And he doesn't expect sex

When I'm looking sad
He follows me around
He always seems to know
When I'm feeling down

He snuggles up next to me
When I go to bed at night
And won't let my husband near me
Without a great big fight

Eventually he gets off
And lies down on his rug
So sometimes I go down there
To give him a great big hug

I don't know what I'd do
Without that lovely dog of mine
But I can say this for sure
He was a brilliant little find.

I'm going on a holiday
Next year for 2 weeks long
I can't go any longer
As hubby said 'you'll miss the dog'

He's right!!


Author notes

I've often thought up little rhymes about my dog, and have often wanted to write a poem about him, even before I found this site. I have no doubt this wont' be the last one about him.

    Three Barks!

    Nice ode to your pooch. Rupert sounds like a lovebug. It's funny that he growls at your husband to keep him off the bed. Talk about possessive. lol I laughed at Balladeer's response to this. He is a big flirt, isn't he? I have a half German Shepherd / half ? named Charlie and he's a big lovebug, too. He's all about togetherness and jumps up next to me every chance he gets. Problem is he weighs about 75 pounds but thinks he's still a 10-pound puppy.

    wow! I'll bet your hubby loves this one! (When is the divorce?)

    Hey, Rupert, you're a lucky dog!
    How lucky can you get?
    You live with a beautiful lady
    Who treats you like a pet!

    She feeds you, bathes you, cares for you
    And lets you on her lap.
    She lets you snuggle next to her
    Each time she takes a nap.

    She likes to pet your shiny fur
    And lets you lick her face.
    I'm going to find a doggie suit
    And come to take your place!!!

      Oh thats so funny!!!
      Thanks for the laugh.
      I do love my dog though, he's my stress relief, when I feel like things are getting too much for me, which happens rather frequently, I just go and give him and little pat and a cuddle and things don't seem so bad. I don't know what I'd do without him.
