Dog
Paws and snouts and whiskers and drool
And muscle and fur and eyes so sharp, kind and cruel
And light and strong and high in their jump
And eager and always hungry and always looking for more
And sleek and shiny and fast and then still
And smelling and sniffing and pushing and tearing
Playful and wanting and watching and rolling
And laying and nestling and warm and smelly
And barking and crying and snoring and growling
And scratching and digging and smelling and finding
And running and skipping and catching and dropping
And darting and flipping and listening and wondering
Licking and slavering and biting and chomping
And spattering and drinking and gulping and looking
And snapping and eating and choking then eating
And winding and turning and sitting and slumping
And breathing and snorting and laughing and giggling
And pawing and scratching and flinching then attacking
Circling and circling and stopping and circling
And wagging and cocking and mounting and grinning
And nudging and pressing and mouthing and tasting
And sneezing and huffing and puffing and panting
And cuddling and huddling and warming and entwining
And sleeping and dreaming and twitching then renewing

Thanks Jemima, yes that is what I wanted to convey. However always pleased to receive input, so thank you Ray for your observations - I do see what you mean - but on balance prefer to keep it in line with my first thoughts
