Slinky Springs & Things

A Stump For A Tail
You can't buy loyalty, they say,
I bought it though, the other day;
You can't buy friendship, tried and true,
Well, just the same, I bought that too. 


I bought a single, trusting heart,
That gave devotion from the start.
If you think these things are not for sale,
Buy a brown-eyed puppy with a stump for a tail.

The one thing that this poem doesn't tell you is that boxers remain at about the level of a three year old child both emotionally and behaviorally for a very long time. They are goofy and endlessly busy! This is Emmy's latest adventure with a small plastic slinky. She played with it much longer than the kids did. Gotta love her!
