Prescott...

Just wanted to share how happy we are with Prescott :) and how from the moment we saw him---he melted our hearts! Poem is tongue in cheek so don't worry WE LOVE HIM and he has his own bed in our bedroom and NOT OUTSIDE!
 
"Prescott In AZ"
A Special Birthday Greeting :) 5/22/06
 
I don't want a dog so get it through your noodle!
No way-- not ever, will I get a froo-froo poodle!
 
I've had my share of lizards, frogs and many cats!
Not to mention gerbils too, but thank God no rats!
 
Raising two sons, I had enough pet responsibility!
No I don't hate dogs, just done with pets you see!
 
I'm done okay-- entitled to a life of leisure now!
Why can't people understand, I'm not an old sow!
 
After all-- I have your gift of a tiny fire-belly toad!
Keeping crickets alive almost puts me on overload!
 
Speaking of crickets, it's time to get some more!
So off we go that day, to the nearby PetCo store.
 
Upon entering the store-- it's a God thing we see!
A cute miniature poodle named Prescott, as in AZ!
 
Out comes the credit card and quick get him a toy!
Zaraslist.com has our new baby waiting--it's a boy!
 
What about those silly owners who take pets inside!
Did I just say that, shame on me for being so snide!
 
Oops got to end this poem, yes I've  really got to run!
Psst... Here Prescott-- Happy 5th Birthday to our son!
 
Author's Comment
My husband and I just bought a home in Payson, AZ.  He's been wanting a dog and now that we have our own home started talking about getting a dog, a standard Poodle, you know the big ones :) and of course it would live outdoors, it's a dog not a human. They were originally bred to be hunting dogs. I, of course think it is so silly how people treat their dogs like real kids and dress
them up and really taking a dog inside a store just because you can, how silly is that!  Honey, don't forget to make sure Prescott is strapped in safe and sound in his new car seat :) before you take him to AZ. Oh and of course, here's his favourite toy, a big stuff trout to get him ready for hunting the big fish :)
