A DOG'S LIFE

 

I'm sick of it

every time I get settled in

here comes the owners with the leash

wanting to take me out for a walk

with this Corona scare

it's walk, walk, walk

they act like they can't take a walk without me

I've walked more lately

than I have in my entire life

they think they're doing some good

a walk may be good for Them

for me, not so much

believe me, I've been around the block

I'm flat worn out

not only do the adults take me for a walk

but then the kids do too

all 4 of them, individually

frankly I'm worn out

I've lost weight

I feel drained

my feet hurt

my tail won't wag

when can I get back to normal

and resume the regular life of a dog

eat, sleep, pee

act like I'm happy.

I've heard of the term "sour puss", but now we have "sore paws".
Paws for thought ? ?
