The Naughty Puppies - Goin it Alone

Omar Blue

I recently visited Nitro, Saifon and the rest of my kin at Iron Dog Land. The only thing they like better than the “toys and bling” Ma sends them, is hearing what the K-9 Town puppies are up to. I’m always willing to oblige.

Me and the other males were following the little mischief makers. They’re never out of our sights. The females decided to wait until we brought them home. They weren't happy.

I see them. You all stay back.

The puppies were lounging one sunny day,

under the Big Oak Tree.

Then decided they’d go swimming,

no regard for the rules that be.

We're not gonna tell the Elders,

what we're going to do.

We'll be right back, after the swim,

but they’re sure to wanna come too.

So off they went to find the pond,

soon just around the bend.

Too young to realize this was the side,

the Elders never put them in.

They decided when they got there,
all in at the count of three!
But once they hit the water,
they cried their misery.

What's wrong with this awful pond,
why's the water so hot.
Why aren't the Elders with us,
if they think we're safe, we're not!

After letting them stew, a second or two
they felt our gentle teeth
They screeched, we’d found them just in time

or they’d be boiling underneath.

Then spreading them out, their comfort secure,
Rottie Brady had his say.
Spoke to them all, catching every eye,

about what they learned that day.

 

First thing, you went without us,

the females will see you about that.

But think what would have happened,

had we not known where you were at.

.
You should have been more careful,

like we've tried to teach you to be.
If you’re smart you learned, that danger comes,
from things you're unable to see.

The pups whispered to each other,
we’ll never do that again!
Before we jump into any water,
we’ll stick a paw or two in.

More important, they searched for the females, 

but not one of them did they see.

This meant they were back home waiting for them,

uh huh! Under the Big Oak Tree.
