I was doing about seven different things but when I heard John O'Hurley read this poem at the National Dog Show on yesterday, it made me cry. They showed it with several different images, including a bulldog. It was so charming. I thought it was really cute and I'd share it with you:



I give pause to my paws on this day of Thanksgiving,
Whether wide-eyed, or doe-eyed, or with eyes that seem hidden,
They're focused on you,
As I watch for a clue
Just wink or a touch,
Says I'm important to you.
But my words sound like woof
My voice kind of gruff,
So I know that
My thanks may seem never enough,
But this secret I share
With you on a whim
All dogs speak best with what's farthest from them,
Whether fluffy or skinny, full-sized or "a la carte"
Always watch for our tail,
It's attached to our heart.​

Bruce posted a video of HRH and her tail wiggle! On another thread. It's the cutest thing. She has a very tight corkscrew tail. When she is excited the tip of her tail goes a mile a minute!

That poem is spot on!

Aww. That's so sweet. Punkin has a wild tail wiggle. He's such a happy guy. Stig's knub of a tail sometimes does a little wiggle too and always makes us laugh.

Buddy has a definite tail wag, but BeBe with her short little tail you can barely see it wiggle, too cute.

[MENTION=860]sheshistory[/MENTION] - thank you for writing that out. I watched the National Dog Show on Thanksgiving - as always - and missed that somehow. (Probably on a smoke break) Did you love seeing the EB representing in Non-Sporting? GORGEOUS! I love those speckled ears.....
