A life long love with Dogs

My uncle is 89.  He is a WW II vet and  had a long history in corporate america.  The one thing most folks don’t know about my uncle is that he is a poet.   His first poem which he wrote as a boy is about his first dog; Sandy, a black cocker spaniel.  I would like to share it with you.

June the 15th on a Sunday morn
our little puppy he was born.
Born to the mother, there were 9
and everyone just looked fine.
Of the 9 one was dandy
andwe called him little Sandy.
He was black with ears so long,
and he was always getting in wrong.
He’d grab a sock and away he’d run,
but in his mind it was only fun.
