Never imagined how quiet it would be
No ‘in and out’ for a sniff and a wee
An empty bowl, an empty basket
Her snowman and her favourite blanket 


No going berserk if the doorbell rings
And so many other endearing things
Peace and tranquillity once more restored
Chaos and mayhem there is no more


like a whirlwind she came into our life
A force of energy - It’s hard to describe
following you about wherever you’re going
There’s now not a little one following


Demanding treats muddy paws
Twigs and leaves and cleaning floors
Is it really worth the hassle and pain?
Yes - in a flash would do it all again 🐾
