My
dog Glory is oh, so nice
She has sugar and a little spice.
Whenever I see her
it brightens my day,
The clouds in the sky go away
She would never hurt anyone
She would never bite,
She is my love
My one delight.
If anything happened to her I would cry,
I probably would die.
I love her so much
And she loves me, If
you saw us together
you would drop to your knees.
That
is the poem that cheers me up,
It helps me when things are tough.
She is the one I kiss good night
We would never get in a fight
I love my dog more than anything in the entire world! She rocks!
Puppies
by Chelsea, age 12
Puppy on the table,
Puppy on the floor,
Puppy knocking over things,
And scratching on the door.
Puppy has dug up the lawn,
Puppy wakes up at dawn,
Puppy eating rocks,
And chewing up my socks.
Puppy ate my sisters slippers,
And ate the fins off her toy flipper.
Puppy played in my sisters room,
Sister said puppy's at his doom.
Puppies, joyful puppies... happy
He ate a carton of saltwater taffy.
Puppy's heart is big and strong
He'll be my best friend all year long.
The Black Lab by
Heather, age 13
Mississippi USA
The
black Lab runs gracefully, Down
the yard, looking for me. This
black lab is a special friend,
He is there for me until the end. But
the thing that matters the most to me,
This black Lab is my little Sammy.
My puppy dog's colour is gold, He
does not like the smell of mold.
He chases his tail and begins to wail,
and then gets very cold.
WolfBoy by
Tayla, age 15
Alaska USA
I
have a wonderful friend, Who's
eyes are bright as the sun, With
the earth, he does blend.
He is my only one,
His face as black as coal,
But soul as white as an angel,
His hair as soft as his soul in this house, He
is the archangel, He's
my big wolfboy.
Though his name is Ash,
He plays with every cat like it was his toy,
And everything he sees, he tries to smash,
He's just a little puppy who loves to dash.
His kisses are a bit sloppy,
But I still love my Ash
His Tail by
Anonymous, age 13
Connecticut USA
He
mat be sloppy, he may be queer,
But best of all he has no fear. He
looks so cute, with his wagging tail. But
if you step on it HE WILL WAIL!

Kassy
by Meredith, age 8
Missouri USA
My
dog is sweet and very neat,
She's not afraid of stormy weather,
And waits for it to stop
With her little paws together.
My
dog is talented,
And she knows how to jump,
The only problem is
Kassy
comes down with a THUMP.
My dog is small, she loves to bark,
Dad thinks she sounds like Noah's ark!

Monroe
by Allie, age 10
Oklahoma USA
My loving puppy, Monroe,
is a snowball falling from the sky. Monroe,
a living puffball
running across the field.
As I listen to my canine pup I
hear a kettle ready on the stove.
When I feel Monroe I
love the wetness of his tongue.
Monroe, like a comforter blanket at night, Monroe,
like a pillow after a 20 mile run, The
smell of him is a bath in the sink,
Monroe, outside on a warm summer day, Monroe,
like fresh snow straight from the ground,
My puppy can be tasted even from far away, Monroe,
fresh brown sugar straight from the store,
Monroe, my life long dream come true!
The Golden runs down the path
Spraying the brown dirt, while the Black
Trots to see what's in the water.
The brown and black is already there
And they all find out no one is there.
They hear the echo from faraway.
You hear the rhythm
of the little one's song.
And one by one the song is gone.
Zach

Buddy
how I've loved you
since the day we brought you home.
You were homeless and cold
and needed a home,
So we took you in our hearts,
believe me that was not hard.
You're funny, cute, and everything nice.
I hope you know I love you,
I wish you could hear,
Because the first thing I'd tell you would be
"I love you, I Love you, BUDDY"!!

One
to Call My Own
by
Kaitlyn, Age
13
Calgary/Canada
I would love to have a puppy
to cuddle when I'm sad. To snuggle up at my feet when I feel angry and mad.
I would take care of him and he would take care of me.
I would train him well and he'd be catastrophe free.
My
puppy and me would be a once in a lifetime pair. If he chewed up the carpet I would not even care.
And when he grows up he'll be the talk of the town.
"Four legged wonder, black, white and brown!"
My
sweetie would get old but still be a pup at heart. We would age together and nothing could tear us apart.
Until
that day when he'd fly to the sky. I'd sit there dully trying not
to cry. I'd stop and think of the wonderful times together. Going through rough times and stormy weather. I would think reassuring thoughts as I gaze up at the
moon. "My beloved friend I will be with you soon."
I

That I'll miss you when you go.

How you were born almost blind.
And my mom took you in,
So, Savanna please don't leave me.
Puppy
Love
by Ashleigh, Age 13
Maryland USA
Puppy love is good and true!
Your puppy will take care of you.
But when it dies, you will cry.
But hold the memories,
Puppy love is close to you!
She
loves to run.
She loves to jump in my lap.
She likes to jump on my dad,
When he's taking a nap.
She likes to jump on my little dog, Sandy. She loves to chew pig ears, many, She loves her red bed dog, dearly. I love her, my dog, She loves me, her human.
Ranger is about 7 years old,
He is very sweet as I well know.
He is not old, but he might die,
Just like my other dog who had a tumor in her eye.
He might have a brain tumor and I hope not,
If that is true, I will want him to know,
He is always in my heart.
Playful
Puppies
by Tessa, Age 14
North Australia
Playful
puppies having fun. On top of each other one by one. Pouncing upon butterflies. When finally they caught one, after many tries!
Chasing after you up and down. Then once inside, they leave footprints all brown. They chew on your sandals, Then worse- your new shoes. But they're still the most playful, When you've got nothing to lose!
Little
Jack Horner
by Kelsey, Age 10

I have a dog named Charlie, But we call him Jack Horner. He sits in the corner, And eats his food. I love my little puppy named Charlie, He is definitely not mean and rude!
My dog Twister has a blister on his left front paw.
My dog Twister hates that blister that he's got.
He tries and tries to get it off,
But that blister keeps hanging on.
Then one day I noticed something was wrong,
I thought and thought, then I remembered.
It was the blister that had come off.
My dog Twister no longer has a blister that hangs on.

Dogs
and Cats
by Kerry, Age 10

Dogs and cats,
have a lot of facts.
Long and skinny and some even whinny
Dogs you should take to picnics,
cats you should leave behind, where they will lay reclined.
Maddie
by Samantha, Age 10
Texas USA
My
dog Maddie is kind of small,
She loves to play Frisbee or ball,
She is a lot like sheep dogs,
But doesn't like to jump over logs.
Sometimes she chases cats,
One time she even killed a rat!
I
really want a new puppy,
no not a guppy!
I want it to be a Beagle , no not an eagle!
Her name would be Zoe. Or maybe even Cloe!
Only one little prob, I'm trying not to sob!
My mom doesn't want one,
I try to tell her it would be fun!
We already have a lab, she is actually quite fab!
But all she does is lay around, she never makes a sound!
She is too big to cuddle, I'm sorry to burst your bubble!
A beagle would be cool, oh, who am I trying to fool?
All I can do is dream,
and gaze into that warm sunny beam.
Maybe, one day, I will be able to play.
Dogs
by Amber, Age 11
Pennsylvania USA
How
sweet dogs are
if you get a dog when it was a puppy,
you can train it to be funny.
Some dogs are small, some are big,
Some are funny, some are playful,
Some are mean, some are as nice as can be.
Some may be long-haired,
Some can be short-haired,
But no matter what you say,
All dogs are cute.
Dogs
Are Scary
by Sarah, Age 10

Dogs
are scary, Dogs are scary,
Dogs are scary, Dogs are scary,
Dogs are scary, Dogs are scary,
Dogs are scary, Dogs are scary,
Dogs are scary,
And some are really, really, REALLY scary.
P.S. When it comes to dogs, I am a scaredy cat.
Some
dogs are sweet, Some dogs are mean,
Some dogs are lazy, Some dogs are playful,
Some dogs are little, Some dogs are big,
but they're all one of a kind.
