We love our two dogs Combined they are man’s best friend They are yin and yang

One is black one’s white The white one is all-loving Black one’s a diva

The black one is smart The white one’s a bit clumsy They both are awesome

The white one is sweet Loves unconditionally Wants to be loved too

Black one will cuddle When she is ready for love It’s all about her

Black one barks a lot White one steps up and barks too Humoring black one

White one closes eyes The black one licks white one’s face Enjoys spa treatment

White one loves to play Carries toys around the house Black one gets jealous

We love both our dogs Will need therapy when gone They are a blessing
