To say Hoot was a bad dog
Is really not that wrong
And to deal with her for 3 years
Just seemed to be so long
She surely didnt listen
When I would give commands
The day that I adopted her
She bit my mothers hand
She barked all day and half the night
At stuff that wasnt there
And she also farted constantly
And never seemed to care.
Shed tear apart the grocery bags
And vomit on my floors
She even peed inside the house
In front of her doggy door
But there were the years she saved my life
When all my hope was gone
Just having her right by my side
Was my reason to go on
To say Hoot was a good dog
There are those whod disagree
And to live with her for just 3 years
Went by too fast for me
But now shes at The Rainbow Bridge
And since were physically apart
I will miss her every day
With each beat of my heart
Until we meet again GirlfriendI love you Hoot!
