My memory brings me back into my first owner’s yard
I can see through my doggy eyes pretty clear
All the fun I had over there
My owner was a middle aged white guy who lived alone
And on weekends he was sure to hand me a ham bone
He would take me for long walks on the beach
And allow me to curdle at his feet.
I remember myself as a pooch and it was sparkling
How I used to find fun bark at the other dogs barking
I chased squirrels and once a cat up a tree
And on a fire hydrant I enjoyed a pee
I once caught a few tick which gave me the hitch
All because I meddled with a bitch
But my master took care of that right away
Now I am hitch free all the way.
One late night while we were inside something spooky occurred
My master was reading a book and I was looking at the bird
I heard a bang on the back door and jumped up and looked at him
Then he jumped up to see what the heck was banging
He turned on the lights and saw a burglar out back
I became furious and wanted to attack
When the thief heard my barks from inside he panicked and fled
As bites from my teeth would have made him bled
I remember clearly when master brought me to the vet
And told her that I was his loving pet
The vet gave me an injection and a few doggy treats
And in no time i was back on my feet
I remember being a dog at that time was great
But now I am a boring human for goodness sake.
