Patch and F leur were both a case and a half
More often than not they would need a bath
With coats so filthy it was scarce to see
They were normally so clean how could this be
Was it seriously so hard to tow the line
Just keeping them from being dirty was such a bind
When at home all they wanted was to sleep
Not a sound could be heard, not even a beep
As good as gold were they when you were around
But left on their own, not a bone could be found
With toys here and there just scattered at bay
They were often found right where you were laid
Meal times were certain to be hard work you know
With food gone in a minute, hey where did it go
For sure they would often sneak up onto your lap
For your food as well, so I guess that is that
They wouldnt leave you alone for a minute
They would steal from your plate, so in the end you just bin it
In the late evening when it was time to turn in for the night
Could you simply go to sleep without the dogs having a fight
For once in your room which was your own and not to share
The dogs jumped on the bed too as they really couldnt care
About the little space you were left with in such a big bed
Were the dogs all there or had they gone soft in the head
Patch especially the older one of the two
Would sometimes not care where he went to the loo
And after Fleur joined us she would follow suit
By the front door in the mornings she would leave her loot
Why oh why couldnt they simply learn
But I guess there bottoms were itching so much they would burn
They were fun dogs to have so let it not be told
Whereby they would more often than not, do as they were told
So happy and carefree they loved to run wild
Sometimes, just sometimes they would behave like a naughty child
They were great guard dogs if anyone came to the door
and so full of mischief your voice they would sometimes ignore
At the end of the day they were as happy as the lark
Their voices could be heard and boy could they bark
If strangers were around especially on walks
If not given the right commands then they would purely just baulk
So wonderful companions were they to have and behold
It was easy to see how they would often do as their told
