Charlie and Scamp have a special bond. I think it’s a guy thing. I’ll let Charlie tell you about it.
I Stepped In It
I stepped in it the other day
Not too fresh, I’m glad to say
Scamp and I were on our beat
When we heard chatter up the street
And knew exactly who we’d meet
Joanne and Kim, out on their walk
Man, those gals know how to talk!
“Hi!” says I, and flash a smile
Though I’m knowing, all the while,
That I had landed on a pile
Of something gushy underfoot
“Oh,” says Kim, “Your dog’s so cute
The way he likes to sniff your boot!”
“That he does,” I says in haste,
“This dog of mine, has he got taste!
Brand new boots, and what a bargain
I just got ‘em down to Marden
He’s attracted, you can tell,
By that classic, new boot smell”
“Oh, that smell, we know it well
Don’t we, Kim? Let’s keep going”
(Hope my blush, it wasn’t showing)
Once they left, we gazed upon
The spot I had been standing on
Scamp, he took a closer peek
Looked at me, as if to speak
Then raised his leg and took a leak
That’s it for now. Catch you on the flip side!
