When Everything Is Said And Done I Guess This Isn't Odd For When You Spell "Dog" Backwards You Get The Name of God!     Two Little Shadows author unknown   I saw a young woman With eyes full of laughter. And two little shadows Came following after. Wherever she moved, They were always right there Rubbing on her skirts, Jumping on her chair. Before her, behind her .... An adhesive pair. "Don't you ever get weary, As day after day, Your two little tagalongs. Get in your way?" She smiled as she shook Her pretty young head. And I'll always remember The words that she said: "It's good to have shadows That run when you run, That play when you're happy And howl when you hum .... For you only have shadows When your life's filled with sun."     The Yorkshire Terrier author unknown   There are many little terrier dogs Of every size and hue. But the one I'd like to mention here Is shaded tan and blue. He's a cocky little devil And he isn't any saint, But a sappy little lap-dog Is the very thing he ain't! He struts along the garden path His eyes boot-button bright, And God help any straying cat That comes into his sight. His owners fear no burglars For every sound he hears, The softest, quietest footsteps Will not pass his pricked up ears. And if he is disturbed at night Or danger is at hand, He makes more of a racket Than a fifty piece brass band!     I Shall Call You ... "Dog" author unknown   When GOD had made the earth and sky, the flowers and the trees, He then made all the animals and the birds and bees. And when his work was finished and not one was quite the same, He said "I'll walk this earth of mine and give each one a name". And so He traveled land and sea and everywhere He went, a little creature followed Him until it's strength was spent. When all were named upon the earth and in the sky and sea, the little creature said: "Dear Lord, there's no name left for me!". The Father smiled and softly said, "I've left you to the end, I've turned my own name back to front and called you "DOG", my friend.
