Just for fun @ Reeds Boston Terriers

 I WILL LEND YOU A BOSTON TERRIER.........

I will lend to you for a while, a Boston terrier pup, God said. For you to love him while he lives and mourn him when he's dead Maybe for twelve or fourteen years, or maybe two or three But will you, till I call him back, take care of him for me? He'll bring his charms to gladden you, and should his stay be brief, You'll always have his memories as solace for your grief. I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return, But there are lessons taught below I want this pup to learn. I've looked the whole world over in search of teachers true, And from the folk that crowds life's land, I have chosen you. Now will you give him all your love, nor think the labor vain, Nor hate me when I come to take my Boston back again. I fancied that I heard them say, "Dear Lord Thy Will Be Done", For all the joys this Boston will bring, the risk of grief we'll run. We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may, And for the happiness we have known, forever grateful stay. But should you call him back much sooner than we've planned, If, by our love, we've managed, your wished to achieve, The memory of him and his love, will help us while we grieve. When our faithful bundle departs this world of strife, We'll have yet another Boston and love him all his life.

 IF I DIDN'T HAVE BOSTONS (Or a whole bunch of them) I could walk barefoot around the yard in safety. My house could be carpeted instead of tiled and laminated. All flat surfaces, clothing, furniture, and cars would be hair-free. When the doorbell rings, my home wouldn't sound like a kennel. When the doorbell rings, I could get to the door without wading through all the fuzzy bodies who beat me there. I could sit on the couch and my bed any way I wanted, with out having to take into consideration how much space several fur bodies need to get comfortable. I would not have to buy a new "toy" every time I went shopping. I would have enough money, and no guilt, to go on a real vacation. I would not be on a first-name basis with 6 veterinarians, as I put their yet unborn grandkids through college. The most used words in my vocabulary would not be: out, sit, down, come, no, stay, and leave it ALONE. My house would not be cordoned off into zones with baby gates and makeshift barriers. I would not have 3 or more pairs of eyes watching me take a shower. I would not have a "shadow" follow my every move. I would not talk 'baby talk'. "go potty" "want to go bye bye" My house would not look like a day care center, with toys everywhere. My pockets would not contain things like poop bags, treats, nail clippers and an extra leash. I would no longer have to spell the words B-A-L-L, W-A-L-K, T-R-E-A-T, O-U-T, G-O, and C-O-O-K-I-E. I would not have as many leaves or sticks INSIDE my house as outside. I would not look strangely at people who think having ONE dog ties them down too much. I'd look forward to spring and the rainy season instead of dreading 'mud' season. I would not have to answer the question: 'Why do you have so many animals?' from people who will never know the joy of being loved unconditionally by the closest thing to an angel they will ever encounter. How very EMPTY my life would be!!! I would not have met all the wonderful people who have taken my babies into their home to love them as much as I do. For this I thank each and everyone of you. God Bless. Remember DOG is GOD spelled backwards.
