A Dog and His Turtle

While I continue to make our new house a home and set up my new studio, Jaz the wonder Vizsla-boy-dog inspired a little rhyme - complete with a few fun photos. Spring's in the air and, in my opinion, there's nothing like enjoying it in my very own backyard right here in the Ozarks.

A Dog and His Turtle

I found a nifty turtle

Deep beneath the leaves.

I dug and dug and dug some more

And finally brought him to the forest floor.

I named him Mr. Turtle.

That’s as creative as I can get.

Me a little furry,

Him in his house in a bit of worry.

We had a good game of chase

And then I won a race.

After a drink of water

And a nuzzle or two. . .

Mom let the turtle go, she thought it for the best.

After all, it was time for a wee-bit of a rest.

The sun went down.

The sun came up.

And out I went to find my new friend.

He was in the leaves all over again.

Another round of chase.

A little nap and a snuggle. . .

Then the day was over, the sun in the west,

My friend Mr. Turtle, you are the best.

Burrow down and take a long nap,

I’ll dig you up in the morning.

Have a Turtle-Friend kind of day ~
