Pet portraits

This painting is of Ella My family pet dog She was a rescue dog She was a lovely pet dog We used to call her Elly Belly And as we watched the telly We used to rub her belly She saved us all From doom and gloom And she lit up the room With her body wagglin And bright shiny eyes Lit up the skies She was always forgivin And weve been missin Her loyal lovin ways And In her days She used to stand at the gate And wait For her next victim Used to bark at the gate And hide at the Wall waitin for kids playin the ball and postman pat nearly had a heart attack but she didn’t flap she used to guard the gate but was soft as sugar and sweet as can bee she used to sit on me knee she didn’t have a flee and she was eager as can bee she had a happy attitude and wasn’t rude she liked her food greeted you with gusto and never held grudges gave unconditional love with ought question she was faithful and loyal, brave and quick to forgive guarded the house with bravery then she sadly passed away and I must say it broke my heart when we depart she was more than just a dog she was our family member and I will always remember her love she gave withought condition she was on a mission to give you love and when she died saw white butterflies in the skies so now she rests in the garden amongst the flowers and butterflies shes in our hearts lives on in memories and electric dreams always remember the love she gave she was so brave So Elly belly until we meet again We will remember your unconditional love and from above you can see life carries on the world keeps a turnin and im yearnin for a time when the world is full of love So What a wonderful a world it would be if we all had the loving attitude of a family pet dog With love from above

Story by Andrew Alan Matthews

Kaiser The Staffy and Samson the Alsatian
Best friends
Loyal and placid
Samson on guard duty
watching the Telly

Kaiser deaf and blind
Rescue dog
A big softy
There kind

They light up the room
Make a house a home

They roam this homely place
They’re soft as sugar
Sweet as can be
They don’t have a flea
As quite as can be

Eager as can be
They like their food
Not rude

give unconditional love
with ought question

they’re faithful, loyal,
brave and quick to forgive
guard the house with bravery

they’re family members
and we’ll always remember
they’re loving ways
to the end of our days

So I painted a picture
of two loving pet dogs

Kaiser The Staffy and Samson the Alsatian
Best friends
Loyal and placid
Samson on guard duty
watching the Telly

Kaiser deaf and blind
Rescue dog
A big softy
There kind

They light up the room
Make a house a home
They roam

So
What a wonderful a world it would be

if we all had the loving attitude
of a family pet dog
Kaiser The Staffy
and Samson the Alsatian
