Personal Tributes & Poetry by Pablo

PURDIE

 Purdie you were so tiny, small and lazy

When you arrived the house went crazy

You took over every moment of our day

Everything else stopped for you to play

And we kept you happy in every way.

You grew got bigger, took your place

Made us laugh with your funny face

Had to clean up after you at every turn

When you were bad you made us burn

We’d shout and curse, to make you learn.

You would run and run not to be caught

Disappear from home without a thought

You would come home return late at night

Look as if you’d been in a an awful fight

And we’d just be happy you were alright.

An old man looked over the gate one day

At you Purdie, just before you went away

The man stared and laughed at you a while

You Purdie looked back with your smile

You were our dog for such a long while.
