12 days of Dogness
On the first day of Christmas
My doggie brought to me
Last year’s Christmas stocking
In the bottom was a pea
On the second day of Christmas
My doggie brought to me
A chewed up Christmas decoration
For our brand new tree
On the third day of Christmas
My doggie brought to me
A dug up bone from last year
And dumped it by my knee
On the fourth day of Christmas
My doggie brought to me
An old Santa hat
Found under the old settee
On the fifth day of Christmas
My doggie brought to me
A bit of Christmas cake
To go with my cup of tea
On the sixth day of Christmas
My doggie brought to me
A striped candy cane
Stolen from the tree
On the seventh day of Christmas
My doggie brought to me
A string of Christmas lights
He thought needed to be freed
On the eighth day of Christmas
My doggy brought to me
A potato from the vegie patch
One less for Christmas tea
On the ninth day of Christmas
My doggy brought to me
A freshly baked mince pie
And eyes that pleaded “feed me”
On the tenth day of Christmas
My doggy brought to me
An old nativity book
Pages ripped out for me to see
On the eleventh day of Christmas
My doggy brought to me
Santa’s special cookies
Left out for Santa’s feed
On the twelfth day of Christmas
My doggie brought to me
A heart of Christmas cheer
Which was really all I need
