Rudy's Afternoon Rides Poem by AHO Speaks

Took Rudy for his first Sunday afternoon ride
Judy was with us and could not hide.

Rudy jumped from my lap to her leg
Standing on his hind feet he seemed to beg.

He shook and shook and I couldn't tell why
I felt so sorry for him I wanted to cry.

He nibbled on Judy's cheek, neck and nose
This dog was desperate I suppose.

He did not like what was going on this day
Too short to look out the window and see the way.

He jumped in my lap but knew better than nibble
The last time he did it to me I used him to dribble.

We finally arrived at the restaurant and Rudy seemed fine
Left him in the locked car for I was sure he wouldn't mind.

When we came out Rudy was in the back seat
He had emptied himself and I felt defeat.

Rudy has a habit to let us know when he is upset
Almost like a vendetta and he will get even yet.
