I wanted a puppy to have and hold
while I continued to get old.
To love and be loved back
Might even call him, "Jack"!

Lord, Give me Patience!

I started my search of "going to see"
I wanted the perfect dog for me!
I chose the breed of B.T.
Because they are smart, you see!

Lord, Give me Patience!

I found not one, but Two, that fit the bill.
The breeder even gave us a deal!
My husband kept saying, "NO"!
But at the end, he gave the "go"!

Lord, Give me Patience!

THE BOYS, "You can't believe I chose two of the same?"
I know this sounds pretty lame...
Everyone tells me NOW,
"I should have chosen, a Boy and a Girl, somehow!"

Lord, Give me Patience!

Snoopy is a little snooper and nosey--
his name, just fits him rosy.
Boomer would lower his head and plow
into Snoopy or us
So his name just seemed just!

Lord, Give me Patience!

Boomer and Snoopy are cute and playful,
Not at all hateful!
Full of adventure and wonder...
It's no blunder;
that our house has chewed up mouldings, doors, and wall.
Then they think I will fall
For their doggy licks and kisses
And paper misses!

Lord, give me Patience!

Now a year later-- We survived it all!
They had ME trained by the Fall.
Their initials tell it all,"B.S."! Bull Shoot!
This year has been a hoot!

Lord, Gave me Patience!
