"MY DAY AT THE DOG SHOW"

 

                                            

          

 

 

I WAS WALKING OUT THE OTHER DAY WHEN I SPOTTED A GREAT BIG SIGN.

 

IT SAID WHY NOT VISIT THE DOG SHOW YOUR SURE TO HAVE  A GREAT TIME.

 

THAT WOULD MAKE A NICE CHANGE I THOUGHT SO I SET OFF THERE BY BUS.

 

ON ENTERING THE GROUNDS THIS LITTLE DOG JUMPED UP AT ME MAKING  A FUSS.

 

OH! HE WAS SUCH A BONNY  LITLE THING WHITE AND BROWN WERE HIS MARKS.

 

FRISKY AND FULL OF ENERGY AS THOUGH HE'D BEEN UP WITH THE LARKS.

 

I ASKED THE OWNER THE LITTLE DOGS   NAME SHE REPLIED OH !!  THIS IS KIZZY.

 

MY NAMES JAN AND I CAN TELL YOU SHE SOMETIMES HAS ME  DIZZY.

 

AS I WALKED ON VERY SLOWLY YET ANOTHER DOG CROSSED MY PATH.

 

HE WAS SO FRIENDLY AND LOVABLE I SAID HELLO I'M LAUGHING KATH.

 

YOU ARE A LOVELY BORDER COLLIE  I SAID AS HE LOOKED UP AT ME.

 

HE BARKED MY NAME IS JESS FROM KENT AND MY OWNERS NAME IS MARIE.

 

I WALKED ON A LITTLE FURTHER AND THERE I SAW BLACK AS NIGHT .

 

A BEAUTIFUL LABRADOR WITH GLOSSY COAT OH! HE WAS SUCH A SIGHT.

 

COME HERE JAKE SHOUTED HIS OWNER HER NAME SANDRA I WAS TOLD.

 

AS A WOOD IN THE DISTANCE WAS DRAWING JAKE SHE HAD TO KEEP VERY TIGHT HOLD.

 

A LITTLE FURTHER ROUND THE ENCLOSURE I CAME UPON TWO WHO LOOKED SMART.

 

I WASN'T SURE WHAT BREED THESE TWO WERE BUT THE PAIR OF THEM TOUCHED MY  HEART.

 

I CHATTED TO THERE OWNER NAMED  ALLY  SHE ANNOUNCED THIS IS  BARNEY AND NIN.

 

IV'E COME WITH MY DAUGHTER LET ME INTRODUCE YOU MY DAUGHTERS NAME IS LYN.

 

THE DAY WAS SUNNY AND BRIGHT NOT A CLOUD AND ALL THE DOGS LOOKED SO PROUD.

 

THEN AS I CROSSED OVER THE COMPOUND  I SAW IN THE DISTANT CROWD.

 

A LADY CALLED ANGIE (OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE MAD WOMAN) WITH HER HUBBY KEITH .

 

HOLDING THERE LOVELY PET TIGHTLY SALLY HER NAME ON THE LEESH.

 

WELL THEN CAME A BIT OF FUSSING A PUPPY DOG CAME RUNNING BY.

 

HE WAS SO CUTE BUT FAR FROM TINY  HE REALY CAUGHT MY EYE.

 

WHAT ARE YOU DOING RUNNING AROUND I SAID IN A PLEASANT TONE.

 

IT'S HER FIRST TIME HERE HER OWNER SAID I THINK HER NAME WAS JOAN.

 

THEY CALL HER SASCHA SHE'S ONLY A PUP AND I THOUGHT I WOULD BRING HER ALONG.

 

BUT SHE'S SLIPPED THE LEAD AND IV'E BEEN CHASING HER ALL ROUND  FOR EVER SO LONG.

 

SHE'S A GERMAN SHEPHERD CROSS BORDER COLLIE AND PROVING A HANDFUL TODAY.

 

THOUGH WHEN AT HOME SHE'S EVER SO GOOD AND DOESN'T RE-ACT THIS WAY.

 

WELL I WAS ENJOYING GETTING TO KNOW ALL THESE PETS THEY WERE EVER SO NICE.

 

WHEN ALL OF A SUDDED ONE STARTED LOOKING UP AT ME WITH GREAT BIG EYES.

 

I PETTED HIM VERY GENTLY AND HE LOOKED UP AS IF TO SAY.

 

GIVE ME A TREAT PLEASE IV'E BEEN SO GOOD AND NOT DONE NO MISCHIEF TODAY.

 

MY NAME IS BOUDREAU I LIVE AT THE MANOR HOUSE WHERE MARIE IS EMPLOYED.

 

AND I HAVN'T STOLEN ANY FOOD  TODAY I HAVE BEEN A REALY GOOD BOY.

 

THEN I NOTICED A LADY LEAVING THE GROUNDS AND I ASKED HER IF ALL WAS OK!!

 

WE CHATTED A WHILE AND THEN SHE TOLD ME SHE BETTER GET ON HER WAY.

 

MILLIE HAD OTHER THINGS TO ATTEND TO SO HER AND BONNY  COULDN'T STAY.

 

WELL I WANDERED ON AT A STEADY PACE AND SAT MYSELF DOWN  ON A BENCH.

 

WHEN AT LAST THE JUDGES MADE AN APPEARANCE FROM OUT OF A LARGE  WHITE TENT.

 

I HAD ENJOYED EVERY SECTION OF THE SHOW BUT ESPECIALLY THE ONE WHICH IS NAMED.

 

THE OBEDIANCE TEST FOR  EVERY BREED MARVELOUS HOW THEY'D BEEN TAMED.

 

TO OBEY THERE MASTERS WORD AND COMMAND I LOVED EACH ENTRANT THE SAME.

 

AND EAGERLY WAITED THE JUDGES DECISION FOR THE WINNER OF THE DAY TO BE NAMED.

 

EVERYONE SAT THERE EXCITED WAITING FOR TROPHY AND ROSETTE.

 

TO BE PRESENTED TO THE MOST OUTSTANDING AND MOST OBEDIANT PET.

 

WELL LOW AND BEHOLD WHAT DO YOU THINK FOLKS THE JUDGES COULDN'T DO THAT.

 

THEY GAVE THE WINNING TROPHY BELIEVE ME TO SOMEONES SPECIAL CAT.      HE-HE.

SUSIE AND " MISS WILLOW"  HAD COME AS A SPECTATOR AND "MISS WILLOW" HAD ACTED SUBLIME .

 

SHE HAD CAUGHT THE JUDGES EYES WITH HER BEAUTY SO AS THEY FOUND HARD TO DECIDE.

 

WHICH PERFECT DOG TO GIVE THE ROSETTE TO SUSIE STOOD THERE  WITH PRIDE.

 

I HAVE JUST READ THAT WILLOW HASN'T BEEN WELL SO I PRAY EVERYTHING COMES RIGHT.
