A Dog Named Blue

I knew I loved you

As soon as we met

A dog named Blue

I couldn’t wait to pet

I looked high and low

For a new furry friend

They would come and go

It had become the trend

I’d look at Petfinder, Ad after Ad

Many cute, fluffy dogs, ready for adoption

Would go so fast, and make me sad

Ones I loved, no longer an option

One day I called about a black and white dog

At a shelter hours away

The lady answered, in a slog

No luck, the pup got adopted that day

She said I have a little guy

He’s brown and gray

He’s cute as a button and caught my eye

He may be available on Wednesday

I said can you send me a picture please

I knew immediately he would be mine

His cute little smooshy face, I couldn’t wait to squeeze

We’d leave Wednesday morning at 9.

How could I ever

Look at his face

And not know, he would be mine fur-ever

In my heart, he’d always have a placeHe’s funny and grumpy

Sometimes sounds like an old man

His tummy is lumpy

And I’m a big fan

He has lots of grumbles

When you massage his ears

He sometimes mumbles

He has very few fears

He’s a big hog

When his sister gets attention

Such a funny dog

Too many quirks to mention

My dog named Blue
