Animal Writings

But above and beyond there's still one name left over...
The name you will never guess.
The name that no human research can discover,
But the cat himself knows and will never confess.

Big dogs, little dogs, brown dogs, tan dogs,
Black dogs, white dogs, spotted dogs and two-tone dogs,

Fuzzy dogs, smooth dogs, lap dogs and leaping dogs,
Fast dogs, slow dogs, digging dogs and frisbee dogs,

Dogs who like car rides, dogs who sing,
Dogs who watch TV, and most everything

Dogs who sniff trees, dogs who sniff knees,
Dogs whose noses like to take in the breeze

Dogs who kick and bark when they sleep,
Dogs who hardly ever make a peep,

Dogs who dress up on the Fourth of July,
Dogs whose response to clothes is "Not I"

Dogs who are social, dogs who are shy,
Dogs who are straightforward, dogs who are sly

Dogs who lead packs, dogs who stay back,
Dogs who conspire to acquire some snacks

Dogs who showed up one day at your door,
Dogs in the shelter whose eyes you adored,

Dogs who brighten your days and your nights
Dogs who magically make things all right

Each dog's unique, no two are the same,
But every dog deserves a great name.
