Dog-Poo-Blues - Limerick

Fall leaves are pretty it's true
Orange, yellow and browns of all hue
But when walking in leaves
Be careful please
Or you'll be singing the Dog-Poo-Blues

Pampered Perry - Limerick

Pampered pooch Perry getting a weave hairdo
A pampered pooch named Perry
Who not a day did tarry
Was pampered it's true
With fancy hairdos
That were truly extraordinary

Chef Perry - Limerick

There was a dog with a mustache
Who enjoyed cooking with panache
With talents extreme
She cooked haute cuisine
And became the next Iron Chef

And not having the time
Decided her dog would do

Costume Party - Limerick

A dog and kitty could not agree
On what to wear to the costume party
They fought till dawn
And when the dog won
He decided to go as a scary kitty

Gerbil's Beware - Limerick

Link to Columbian newspaper article describing Clark County commissioners unanimous decision to a two-year contract with the Humane Society for Southwest Washington on Tuesday, ending seven months of debate over how to house stray animals found in unincorporated areas.
It's about time Clark County agreed
To help fund the Humane Society
But now it is clear
That Gerbils should fear
Commissioners Madore and Mielke

Biscuit Stealing - Haiku

Researchers found dogs were four times more likely to steal food they had been forbidden, when lights were turned off so humans in the room could not see. This suggested the dogs were able to alter their behavior when they knew their owners’ perspective had changed.
To steal a biscuit
One needs a lot of patience
And a long of tongue

Ode to My Dog - Poem


Best Friend Pinterest Photos
I talk to him like he's a person.
I think he understands...
He looks at me intelligently
And gently licks my hand.
He farts and drools and chases squirrels
But I never say a word.
Because I know I'm just a schmoe
And he's the best friend in the world.

Ode to My Human - Poem


Jimmy Stewart's Touching Ode to His Dog, Beau
I talk to him like he’s a dog
He try's to understand.
He looks at me quizzically
But I know he’s only human.
He takes me for walks and picks up my poop
How bizarre is that?
But all things considered, it’s not a bad life
And thank God I’m not a cat!

Curiosity - Haiku

Link to Mars Rover, "Curiosity"
Curiosity
is usually a good thing
unless you're a cat

Coprophagia Limerick

Why Do Dogs Eat Other Animals' Poop?  Cat feces probably attracts dogs because cat food is higher in fat and protein than dog food, and consequently cat feces is too.
There was an Australian Shepherd
Who had a penchant for cat turds
And was once heard to say
While munching away
Do you have any Grey Poupon mustard?

To the world, 
you may be one person.
But to a dog,
