MY tail would just wag

As I heard you drive up

Cause I knew that you loved me

For I was your pup

You would enter the house

And say “Howz my girl”?

I would bark with excitement

Cause you were my world

You would tell me to sit

And I would just to please

Cause I knew if I did

You’d give me some cheese

When this was all through

You would take me to play

Cooped up in the house

I waited all day

To you it did not matter

The time or the weather

All that was important

Was we were together

This routine would go on

Time and again

Until one day I woke

And can’t find my friend

I sat in the kitchen

My mind was a fog

I wanted to help

But I’m just a dog!

As they took you away

I wondered what happened

Then the thought came across

I might not see you again

I did not believe them

When they told me you’re gone

I would sit by the door

I waited for long

When one day they came

To take the last box

They closed up the house

And locked all the locks

At this point I realized

That things would just change

Without you in my life

My life’s not the same

I want you to know

That I always look back

But I have found a new friend

My new friend is Jack

I have a new place

Where I bark sit and play

But one things for sure

It’s no the same way

A new Mom a new Dad

A new place to call home

A new couch some new toys

A new backyard to roam

I need you to know

Chris and Joanne really love me

They’ve welcomed me in

As part of the family

I made a mess of their couch

And steal all Jack’s toys

He just sits there and barks

Boys will be boys

As the holidays approach

I remember the years

When you would take my picture

With those damn reindeer ears

But until the day comes

When I see you again

I want you to know

“Man’s a dogs best friend”
