My Beautiful Vegas
The first day I saw you
Young, innocent and free
You waddled to the front
And said, “pick me, pick me, pick ME!”
I smiled and picked you up
I had no way of knowing
That as you licked my face
It was leadership you were showing!
You’d look at me and squat to see
If I was faster than you
But your four feet were way to quick
So, the newspapers always stayed new!
Teething was a trying time
As your Auntie will attest
But I’d go through it all again
If only you weren’t at rest.
Wandering was your favorite thing
No gate or wall seemed high enough
If ours was too tall, you’d find a way
To use the neighbor’s beside us.
You were patient with all of our moves
And all your new “pack mates”
You adjusted fine as long others knew
Of your stubborn Alpha traits.
You loved each toy you had
But sharing just wasn’t for you
If each of you had a bone
You’d always end up with two!
Ah, yes, our times could be trying
But love we shared, there’s no denying
I’d do it all again my girl
To see you stand proud and true
If only I could hear you sing
“A woo-woo-woo, woo-woo!”
With Love Always,
