Thoroughly poetic Thursday #48

   Two SPOILED CATS,

Angel Sammy and Teddy find such inspiring photos for us


This is today's inspiration Angel Sammy gave us today
OMCs OMDs  this photo brought back memories from my childhood
True story



When I was six, our first pet was a
 a handsome Boxer bull named
Duke 
Sometimes when he ate too fast he 
would Puke*.
When moved to a new house, I was eager to meet new friends.
Duke was always by my side. 
He would give anyone who tried to come in the yard that Boxer Look (above).
Many friends could not decide 
how to get passed Duke.
Finally he learned the difference in
friends and foes.
Sometimes he was so happy to see them,
He jumped on their toes.
He loved his family and all our friends.
THE End
*that problem was quickly corrected.  He got small meals 3 times a day.

  7. today each time i see this boxer with curlers I laugh out loud. he is so beautiful. we always fed our dogs once a day, when bob got home from work between 3 and 4. that way they did not eat and have to stay home alone without access to back yard. along came JAKE, he was found starving in the streets and ate so fast it would not stay down and after he came, all 3 were fed 1/2 in the am and 1/2 at 3.. Big and Beau both ate/eat twice a day, they only get one cup each time because he eats a little of our 3 meals a day

  9. We love your poem and your memories. Although are, we confess, a tad disappointed that no curlers we at any point involved.

  11. That was a nice poem. Growing up we had 3 boxers. One day I found my mum's lipstick and put it very thickly on the youngest boxer's lips. My mum was not amused!
