I am blonde and beautiful,
intelligent above the norm
my breeding is impeccable
though I haven’t Kennel Club form
I look like a retriever
not part setter like my mum
though I love my fronded tail
and I’ll growl if dogs sniff my bum

My people think they own me,
that I should do as I’m told
and sometimes I pretend to
though their orders leave me cold
When we are out walking
and they let me off the lead
I turn a deaf ear to their calls
Until I’ve been everywhere I need

And as for that dumb idiot
they have given me as a friend
although he’s soft and harmless
sometimes he really is the end
he thinks that he can wander off
be independent, just like me
so I have to bowl him over
and bark at him incessantly

Of course he runs right back to them
and that’s another job well done
I can’t understand why they tell me off
when I have been the clever one
They call me a miserable bitch
and say that I’m in a mood
well, of course I get a bit huffy
when they don’t show me gratitude

I’m not sure that they deserve
a bitch as clever and refined as I
but someone has to look out for them
and the cats, and that loopy Ry
so I condescend to live here
accepting food, and treats, and such
let them fuss me, occasionally brush me
but my tail ....they cannot touch!

thank you, Karen ...our Daisy really is like this - adorable but such a pain, sometimes

Rose, you obviously love your Daisy, even if she tries your patience at times. A great fun poem.

I do like a dog with character ...at least I do until she does her obnoxious act

It sounds as if Daisy gives you the run around although I am sure you wouldn't be without her.

she does, Jo ...and we wouldn't!
