Naming Poem – My Dachshund, Jetta
The only one of 7, black and tan of the bunch
The runt of them all.
Daughter of Cinnamon & Ginger
Mother of Rhett & Scarlett
Who travels by car,
Who travels by plane,
Who travels by foot,
Lover of young ones ‘til dropped.
Hunter of tennis balls
Chocolate cake survivor
Boss of the big dogs
Chaser of Zeke.
Who waits patiently
Who hopes for a soft lap & warm blanket
Cuddles & kisses nose to nose
Bed warmer/heating pad
Lap snuggler with ‘Mamie’
Best buddy of Ruby
“Short-legged, little ugly dog”
Defender of home & hearth
Demander of cottage cheese at breakfast
Patient of Chiropractor & Vet
Brave soul of surgery
Sunday morning church-goer
Lace-collared wedding attendee
Student Distraction
Play rehearsal entertainer
“Sound of Music” program pin-up
Computer glitch woofer
Business associate & trainer
Queen of the Beggars blindly leading the gullible
Comforter in sad times
Requested as visitor
“Jetta-betta”
Always & forever in my heart!
