Happy Birthday, Baby Dog.
Coming home to you daily,
Is like emerging from an unending fog.

Your tail is wagging, sending items askance.
As you share your limitless love,
In a flurry of white fur and dance.

Every morning, at 4 AM we embark,
For you to sniff, potty and prance.
Startling rabbits away for a lark.

When the day is done, and you’ve had your fill,
You take up your mantle at my bedside.
An ever watchful friend who wakes at will.

You are my best friend, my heart in your paw.
Happy Birthday, again, my baby without flaw.
