Unconditional Love

Ok so maybe not the best model (Sorry KD! <3) but the expressions were quality.

This is -not- my dog. It is my dear friend's grandparents dog, Caddy was the name I believe, gorgeous girl.

Each day when it's anighing three

Old Dick looks at the clock,

Then proudly brings my stick to me

To mind me of our walk.

And in his doggy rapture he

Does everything but talk.

But since I lack his zip and zest

My old bones often tire;

And so I ventured to suggest

Today we hug the fire.

But with what wailing he expressed

The death of his desire!

He gazed at me with eyes of woe

As if to say: 'Old boy,

You mustn't lose your grip, you know,

Let us with laughing joy,

On heath and hill six miles or so

Our legs and lungs employ.'

And then his bark was stilled to a sigh

He flopped upon the floor;

But such a soft old mug am I

I threw awide the door;

So gaily, though the wind was high

We hiked across the moor.
