As most of you know I have Old English Sheepdogs, or Bobtails as they are also called.
Here's my description.

Nature who made you rough and grey and meek,

Reft you of dogdom's silent power to speak,

Cut off your tribal customary flag,

And left you with nothing you could wave or wag.

Yet, still unfair herself, she made you fair,

A bob-tailed beauty in a mass of hair.

With two dark eyes on which her mind she spent,

To make them tender, wise, and eloquent.

I have a dog that's Grey and white,
with big front paws no tail in sight.
He plays with all the tiny pups,
Cleans the plates and the shiny cups.
Was blessed with him one sunny day.
Some gifts come in a funny way.

We have a Cocker Spaniel who was dumped out in the cold,
The man at the Dog's Trust told us she was 3 to 5yrs old.
But when we got our Sally home we knew it wasn't true
Coz she couldn't run around our house like you'd expect a dog to do.
She'd been in rescue kennels for 11 days,
Others had been to see her but didn't like her ways.
She whined at every shadow and barked at passers by,
But she was what we'd been looking for and here's the reasons why.
She's comical, she's funny, she's just the pup we'd been looking for
She can be moody and she sulks a lot oh we could say much more
But to us she is the perfect hound
And we're glad we found her in the pound
To love for ever more.
=============================================
That's all folks!
We'd be lost without her and we love her to pieces. The laws in the UK need changing for people who dump animals and are cruel to animals. Think about all the different areas where dogs actually work alongside humans....sheepdogs, rescue dogs who sniff out people trapped after earthquakes and other disasters, dogs that work with the police, sniffer dogs, drug busters, etc etc and dogs were used in the 2nd world war to sniff out bombs etc and have been used in the armed forces since then too for the military, guide dogs, assistance dogs and the list goes on. xx

Curled up on the bed or feet in the air
My Geeps and I make quite a pair.
Fox ears, tailless, & short to the ground
Through snow, fallen leaves, & rocks she does bound.
Unconditionally, my love & friendship she does accepts
Even my tears when I have wept.
No matter how we travel or where we go
My little girl puts on a show.
Leaping & barking, grabbing my hand
She is ready to explore any land.
To describe her in one word, I won't pretend
She is my "Bubbly" shadow & friend.
A friend to all critters & humans no matter their place in life
She gives of her heart to end sadness & strife.
So as dreams fill her head
While asleep on my bed
I can only say, she is much more then I have said.
In closing I'll add:
By my side she will stay
Even death won't take one of us away.
Note: Geeps (Max's Little GPS) is a Pembroke Welsh Corgi

At the end of the garden, I got a surprise,
when through the hedge she saw two bright green eyes.
As she walked slowly closer, she crouched down to see
a small fluffy cat, as black as could be.

She held out her hand, and said "hello,"
but the cat just hissed and crouched down low.
I thought, "What a silly cat,
Grandma's Cat doesn't behave like that."

Grandma's Cat was fat, with shiny ginger fur,
Who would rub your face and gently purr.
He played with toys and climbed the tree
and fell asleep sat on your knee.

Not like this cat with his eyes opened wide,
he quickly ran away to hide.
"What a silly cat to act that way,"
but he came back the very next day!

I was lost for words
as he ate the bread put out for the birds!
Underneath the fluffy fur, she saw he was thin
and watched him rummaging through the bin.

He came back every night and day,
to try and find food they had thrown away.
He started to eat it, it can't have been tasty,
I thought she may have been hasty.

He wasn't unfriendly or being bad,
his face looked frightened and very sad.
If no one else had ever cared,
he probably was very scared.

I spied on him, as off he sped
and spent the night underneath the shed.
Alone, hungry and with no name,
I thought it was such a shame.

So she told her Mum and they looked out,
for when the black cat was round and about.
They would take out food every day,
sometimes he'd hiss and run away.

When he did they did not mind,
they knew he wasn't used to people being kind.
Dad put a catflap in the door of the shed,
Mum got an old blanket and made a cosy bed.

They called him Midnight and he soon understood,
that his life in their garden could be good.
Plenty of food and a warm place at night,
and if he didn't want to be stroked, that was alright.

Poor Midnight had been a lonely stray,
but now he had a place to stay.
He may not want to be cuddled, or sit in the house,
but he liked to play with a new toy mouse.

He put on weight, his coat glistened
and when I spoke, he sat and listened.
She knew he was thankful for all she had done,
a special new friendship had begun.

About the above is when i had taken in a homeless cat that had stayed in my garden.

They fly around me constant-lee
Their incessant drone
Their crazy scree
Makes me want to hear the phone

They bother me all day and night
And bite me and bite me
Til I am
Quite the sight

I get no sleep
From these pests
I have no respite
Just catnaps for rests

They are not really pets
These pesky Joes
But since they are always around
What do I else do I call these mosquitos!

Dear Whiskas cat food, I’ve something to say,
I like Whiskas’ varieties, they are OK.
But I have a suggestion, I’d like to make,
take notice of a cat, for goodness sake.

What cats really prefer, is not what you think,
it’s not beef, lamb and vegetable, sea bream or shrimp.
You see I don’t like vegetables, I’m a carnivore at heart,
and I can’t catch tuna, and that’s just the start

Okay here goes:

I have two such friends who share my life;
one is a Yorkie who is full of strife;
the other is a Sheltie who stays to herself;
they fight sometimes because that is just who they are;
I know this doesn't rhyme but hey I am doing my best:
just to let you know who these pets are that put me to the test;
I have loved them thus far from there to here;
they are my pets and I hold them so dear.

God Bless.

He's a Maine Coon and apricot and white

He's a Loon to be sure, and sometimes not that bright!

His legs and feet are stocky;

As he careens through my house like Rocky!

His name is Tony ...and I've added Bologna as his last

'Cause he acts like a member of the Soprano's cast!
