An Ode to Doggy Daddy

As far as Dad's go...

There ain't non greater...
If Daddyhood was a political race...
Our's would easily beat out Ralph Nader.


He cooks and he cleans...
He does laundry and picks up dog poo...
He reads us stories and gives us baths...
And took us to the World Famous Zoo.


He's worried about germs...
And always washes our hands with soap...
He carries Purell in his pocket...
And can hold all three of us on one rope.


He comes to our side at night...
Or whenever we are crying...
He'll happily change our stinkiest diapers...
When Mom's fast asleep (or looks like she's trying).


He's kind and he's gentle...
And although he has yet to win a spelling bee...
He never complains and he's friendly...
The kind of person we hope to be.


He taught us to assemble puzzles...
How to kick and throw a ball...
He takes us to the pool and park...
And always catches us before we fall.

He makes the best grilled cheese...
Omelettes, milk shakes, french toast...
He whips up waffles and quesadillas...
Thank goodness you cook. Have you tasted Mom's pot roast?!


He loves to play his guitar...
Read books and ride his bike...
He ran a marathon once and plays tennis...
There are very few things he doesn't like.


He's so good to our Mom...
He makes her laugh and often rubs her feet...
He's extremely patient when she updates her blog...
And will bring her wine and sweets to eat.

He works only part-time...
He says it's important to see us grow...
He takes us for long walks...
And we appreciate him more than he'll ever know.


Whether we're calling him "Doggeee" or "Daddeee"
We hope he knows that's it true...
There ain't no better one in the land...
Than OUR Daddy. That's you!
