Tell me about your dog
bonus if your banner pic is the dog- no dying dogs no sad dogs- just tell me about your dog... a lil biography of a dog you have or had and why he or she is worthy to be written about. One winner will be chosen- but I also sling juice.

I Killed the Alien (Vacuum)

My sweet grand pup, Sir Lancelot, was a rock of devotion, steadfast and ever true - always ensuring the security of our home.

The alien came out of nowhere

Big and fast and round

Slithering on its belly

With a boastful, angry sound.

I sprung into quick action

Always prepared for the worst

I’d show this alien a thing, maybe two

Attack just like I’d always rehearsed.

I barked and I barked until out of breath

Bared my teeth and gave a fierce growl

Then I pounced on that alien’s really long neck

Stopping him dead in his tracks with a big howl.

My master paused and gave me a smirk

(Of praise cuz I'm savage, of that I am sure);

I stood ever ready between the two

Ensuring my universe stayed all secure.

I bit its neck, best to check it was immobile

I’d show this alien its rightful spot

So, pulling, I moved it to the trash bin

Where I was hellbent it could sit and rot.

Strangely enough, that was my last rescue

My master has banished me to the outside

That damn alien’s enjoying all the comforts of home

While my living conditions have all been downsized.
