Remember
when we first met
So proudly you said “He’s mine the one with the Blenheim spot and that cheeky grin”.
I loved you at first sight, and could have kissed you all day long
My big dark eyes sucked you in & my very waggy tail.
Remember when I was young
I’d hide from my weekly bath, though , easily found, once you called.
Why was I nicknamed “Drummer”?
Or how you’d throw the ball I thought it fun to fetch ,but found it better to be chased well I did go get the ball.
Remember our first show together
How I had to make you run you were so very slow, no wonder we didn’t win.
And remember our first challenge win that gave us Best Of Breed
So proud it didn’t seem to matter that I was the only one.
Remember how I matured my flowing coat & how I held my head
You hardly had to hold the lead I could have shown myself
But those rules & regulations said you had to come along, through
Remember how we used to win challenge after challenge
We’d arrive & I’d hear the sighs & chuckle to myself.
But in the end it lost its fun I’d forget to show well I had more important things on my mind of girls & lovely smells.
Remember that unforggetable day
When they brought me that pretty girl I did my job & thought that was that
But I was there for the next half hour
My show days are over now I don’t see as many girls now though that I’m not regretting because I get to meet them now.
Remember when you were sick I’d stay by your side
And when I was sick you’d do the same for me
All through my days you cared up until our last farewell
You were always there for me
All I ask of you is to remember me but then how could you forget.
Remember when we first met
I was so proud you said “He’s mine”.
