The Partnership.

I have a little partner who I think is fond of me.

And in fact I'm fond of her but try not to let her see.

Because she takes advantage if she thinks she can.

And I'd become her servant or her butler man.

I serve her with her meals and clean up all her mess

I brush her and I bath her of that I must confess

I take her out and treat her we often picnic out.

I do occasionally spoil her of that there is no doubt.

But I maintain strict discipline from that I do not shrink.

I'm the boss in this partnership. At least that's what I think.

Morning Mr D & Midge,who after all steals the show today!! I mean,you have given us another terrific rhyme but alas....🙈🙊....your little girl takes centre stage today! 🐾🐾🐶. Funnily enough,my son gave our Hazel 🐕🐾🐾a shower 🚿 yesterday and she ran around the garden like a mad dog. She smells lovely which stopped me moaning about the price of the "special dog shampoo" he'd purchased! £10for a fairly large bottle. Have a good weekend and bank holiday!!

I'm up-staged all the time by either Midge or Skis. 🤔

[HungryHufflepuff]

You know she’s saying “That’s what he thinks” 🙄

Beautiful poem though thanks Don.

I'm not sure that the look agrees as to who is boss! But a lovely friend certainly.

Sums up every dog owners relationship with their dog. Ours rules the roost, even deciding where to cross the road where n on her wallks.

😀😀😀. C’mon Don admit it she can twist you round her litte paw and that’s the way you like it!

Love cx

[Hidden in reply to cofdrop-UK]

Shush! 😅

[CELAT06]

Ooh, she is so cute, I bet she has you wrapped around her little finger as my Rosie does me !!

[Hidden in reply to CELAT06]

Never! 😅

[sassy59]

I think Midge is the boss Don but don’t tell her. Xxxx😘

[Kittykat2]

Very cute dog that look says a lot!! X

[skischool]

I have seen that look dear Don and a thousand days of your kindness have been wiped out by a few litres of bath water but i am sure Midge will forgive you once she has dried out. x

[Hidden in reply to skischool]

Dinner usually wipes my slate clean. 😉

[Izb1]

Doesn't look too happy with you at that moment Don, but she will forgive you after a few treats. Good rhyme x

[Patsy164]

What a lovely face she has bless her. Lovely companion. X

[Hacienda]

The eyes say it all Don, she will always be there for you before herself. Beautiful Midge. Xxx🐕

" what is this human thng with clean water? just got myself smelling decent"

[Hidden in reply to SORRELHIPPO]

That's it exactly. But that's the price she pays for sleeping with me. 😅

[majji]

Oh dear, oh dearie me - She Who Must Be Obeyed

Is none too happy with Cap'n - that is plain to see

and to cap it all she is not wrapped in Pink

whilst cavorting in the Captain's sink

Instead sporting something Blue and White

which she detests with all her might

the look in her eyes denotes "I have been betrayed -

However I shall forgive him in a few days."

[majji]

Sorry, not particularly good - brain fudge again

[Hidden in reply to majji]

Any response from you is a joy Margaret and having one in rhyme makes it doubly so. 🤗

(Someone will be calling me smarmy soon.🙄)

[majji in reply to Hidden]

Now YOU have managed to render me almost speechless Cap'n - however it comes to mind that the lovely Sirski might be cogitating with the word "smarmy" and replacing the letters SM with the letter B . . . .

[Hidden in reply to majji]

Do you reckon Skis does much cogitating? Sounds pretty disgusting to me. 😄

[majji in reply to Hidden]

I suspect he is at it day and night Cap'n :-0

[skischool in reply to majji]

In between periods of rumination i have been known to cogitate but only in the presence of consenting adults. x

[majji in reply to skischool]

Now that gave me giggles galore!!!

[Shirleyj]

Oh love her x x🐶🐶😍

[Hidden]

Lovely poem know that look very well Don lovely Midge I'm afraid thats the way it is they are definitely the boss and we are the servants

we are always saying that. But we wouldn't have it any other way. 😊 xx
