"Dogs are really people with short legs in fur coats!"
"A house is not a home without a dog."
"Even the tiniest Poodle or Chihuahua is still a wolf at heart."
" [dogs] never talk about themselves but listen to you while you talk about yourself, and keep up an appearance of being interested in the conversation."
You can't buy loyalty,they say,
I bought it though,the other day
You cant buy friendships,tried and true
Well just the same,I bought that too.
I made my bid and on spot
Brought love and faith and a whole job lot
Of happiness,so all in all
The purchase price was pretty small
I bought a single trusting heart,
that gave devation from the start
If you think these things are
NOT FOR SALE
Buy a brown-eyed puppy with a wagging tail
