Our Barney chewed the tassels        from my brand new shoes                  And cowered under the desk in our
Family room As I yelled                        my wife scooped him up and berated me for leaving them on the floor

Over the years                                        that puppy caused more damage        but never more then the joy he brought into our home                        with his excited brown eyes                long black floppy ears.                        short wiggling tail                                  and soft pink tongue that he kissed us with constantly

After he passed                                        we bought a rhomba sweeper              that my wife would turn on in the morning to follow me around                just like Barney eating up crumbs that I would drop on the floor as he poked my leg with his cold wet nose letting me know he was ready for more

RIP Barney
