Hi, this is Eddie. We three, namely me, Buster, and Mister Tom have been busy the past few days. Buster and I have been busily working on our obedience homework. Buster is used to the routine around the house. I am starting to figure out what the routine is most days. I thought I would write a short little poem about how my day starts.

DOG DAY BEGINS (Copyright 2013 by Captain Eddie)

I’m alerted as he stirs from his slumber,
I know his routine as if by the numbers.

Sounds I hear are my first clues,
Before he even puts on his shoes.

He must get his morning moving,
Before it’s even time for my outing.

Soon comes a command, “Eddie outside,”
I move fleet afoot not losing a stride.

I survey my dominion for the unusual,
As I complete my constitutional.

Now work and practice on obedience,
I’m used to this, my daily cadence.

Following this is praise and play,
This is how we begin our day.
