Just a dog

Just a Dog


Sure he was just a dog, big and soft and fluffy
Just a dog
He had that wet nose thing and liked to lick me,
Follow me wherever I went,
Sit by my side, lay at my feet and sleep by my bed,
He was big, yeah like maybe scary big to some
but big baby big to me,
Those big eyes and a silly grin, like some muppet.
He moved through the air when he ran and jumped, his coat waving and shining , 
When he ran beside my girl they looked like perfect tens.
Just a dog, with dog smells, and wanting to go out, and yeah even dog tempers and teeth.  
I’ve got his hair everywhere- its in my pockets.
Big ole tail wagging and whacking things.
More smart than most, more beautiful than most, more stubborn than most.
Just a dog
But if he was just a dog how come it hurts so much that I don’t have him anymore.
Just a dog, for two months, my dog

Afterward:I missed him so much I went back and got him and we've been together ever since
