The Vet Shed

Having a dalmatian with medical issues, I have found that the Vet Shed at Sumner Park has ended up being kind of my new 'best friend', when it comes to finding the special food my dog needs just to survive, plus the chewable wormer tablets for him, and the spot-on flea and worm things that go on the back of the neck for the cats. Thank God someone finally created spot-on wormers for cats! I have far too many injuries and scars from 17 years of worming my four little twerps (three now), to ever want to do it the old way again.

Anyway, I get a newsletter from The Vet Shed once a month, and having just received this month's today, it reminded me that last month's had a rather cool poem in it, that I thought I would share, given we are now in the Christmas period.

Copyright goes to the author and the Vet Shed, I believe.

A Doggy Wonderland (by Jo. Magargan)
     

    Dog tags ring, are you listenin'? 
    In the lane, snow is glistenin'. 
    It's yellow, NOT white - I've been there tonight, 
    Marking up my winter wonderland. 
     
    Smell that tree? That's my fragrance. 
    It's a sign for wand'ring vagrants; 
    "Avoid where I pee, it's MY pro-per-ty! 
    Marked up as my winter wonderland." 
     
    In the meadow dad will build a snowman, 
    following the classical design. 
    Then I'll lift my leg and let it go Man, 
    So all the world will know it's 
    mine-mine-mine! 
     
    Straight from me to the fencepost, 
    flows my natural incense boast; 
    "Stay off of my TURF, this small piece of earth, 
    I mark it as my winter wonderland
