When I have a dog I'll call her Ithell.

A boisterous shaggy madam she shall be.

We'll walk in rain and wind and drizzle

no one will dare to stop us, she and me.

 

Our hearts will race as we climb up the mountain.

No one can catch us 'til we reach the top.

We love the wild the windy rugged weather.

There's no fear in us when we see the drop.

 

We'll eat our meat, we'll drink our drink, we'll sleep well

when in the owl-bright darkness we reach home.

When I have a dog I'll call her Ithell.

A wild-times friend, we'll never be alone.

Yes, it is a bit short. I thought that, when I posted it. As I say, it's an old one. Can't think what to add to it now, so I'll leave it. It sounds a bit like a child speaking, hoping that one day she'll have that doggy in the window!

Yes Stef, def up for meeting Mr P-S and his hounds. We could go on a double date! But then, if it all went really well, I could end up being your step mother in law!

Lovely poem, Ann, and what a lovely picture you have chosen. This is my hubby's favourite breed as well, but one would fill our little house right up as well!

This is one of the first poems I wrote. So many doggy style poems on recently I thought I'd add my two pennyworth! My daydream is to have a huge Irish Wolfhound - but it would fill up my whole cottage! But they are so beautiful in their scruffy way.
