This was one day I would never forget
An answer to my prayer,
The day I received my very first pet.

When she arrived, she was slightly wet,
With water in her hair
This was one day I will never forget

Down her cage was gently set,
I could see her fur was fair
The day I received my very first pet.

I knew from the start, I would never regret
Having her in my care
This was one day I would never forget

Even though we had hardly met,
I loved her then and there
The day I received my very first pet.

Though many who see her get upset
Since her tail is long and bare,
This was one day I would never forget,
The day I received my very first pet.
