V - Veterinarians, Gas Stations, and Edward
VETERINARIANS, GAS STATIONS, AND EDWARD
We went to the
vet’s for a blood test
‘cause Edward needed
his pills.
Allergies and
thyroid,
epilepsy and big
bills
Everyone says, “How cute.”
Everyone thinks, “How smart.”
I say, “Edward’s
very sweet,”
and add his salve
to my cart.
Edward loves all
people,
but thinks small
dogs are snacks.
So keep that
wiener dog away,
I give you just
the facts!
Edward’s a
Goldendoodle,
a mutt by another
name.
When we offer him
a car ride,
Edward’s always
game.
He has his regular
treat rounds
He’s a hairy dog
rock star!
Coffee stand, gas
station,
the vet has treats
in a jar.
Edward’s very curly,
but it’s hair he
has, not fur.
The groomer’s cost
is mighty
as your balance
will concur.
If you want a
Goldendoodle,
Just heed these
words I say,
They’re sweet and
cute and loving,
but, oh, you may
rue the day!

Edward is a cutie-pie indeed and I'd hold a stash of treats for him for sure!
ReplyDeleteFortunately, his allergies are not food related, so he can eat whatever treats come his way!
DeleteI will admit, he is cute and sweet. That's really all a house pet needs to be! (and housebroken)
A cross between my two favorite breeds of dog, poodle and golden retriever!
ReplyDeleteInteresting!
DeleteI wouldn't get another doodle (or a poodle or golden!), but that's because he is a one off. I'm not a doodle person! I'm a herding breed person. Heelers, Border collies... and they don't associate with dogs not their "kind," which is what I forgot when I got Edward for my other dog, Boo, when our others were too old for him to roughhouse with.
He's really a nice family pet though. I got him free on Craigslist at age 2 1/2. I didn't know his health issues would be quite so many, or expensive!
I'm not sure if I ever rued a day before. How does one rue?
