The Testimony of a Dog Named Boudreaux

A Katrina victim was my unwanted destiny

Then “Georgia on My Mind” became the best home for me.

Sadly I had to leave my foster mom

She took me to my new home and we both cried when she left.

I ran around frantically when she wasn’t to be found

But my new mom, Susan, took time to calm me down.

I have a new family, Greta, Bob and Fred

And I sleep on a new Petsmart, soft, warm, bed.

I have taught my new family I can handle daily chores

Mom says my new name should be “Curious George”.

I’ve shown everyone I know what to do

I empty the trash, choose food from the fridge

And when I am too helpful, everyone hollers, “Bou”!!!

I love to read magazines and tear them to shreds

Mom looks at the pictures without any heads!!

I have met some of the human neighbors

And the next door dog named Max.

I feel more secure, now, and

I feel more relaxed!!

It’s been two days and no “accidents” have I had

I only had three and I felt really bad!!!

Mom calls me her new physical trainer

We power walk together and that’s a “no brainer”.

I toss my toys high in the air when I play

And eat a good supper at the end of the day.

I feel so at home when the day is complete

I curl up by the fire and my eyes close with sleep.

I thank Pet Rescue and God up above

For bringing me to a home full of love!!!

Licks and Love, Boudreaux
