A dog and a cat

I would like to have a dog

And a cat to be its friend

They can play together

All day until they go to bed

Each with their own blanket

And toys to keep them busy

Long walks with the dog

Stopping at every post and tree

Cats are independent

Will come and go anytime

Travelling to visit other cats

For me that would be fine

Spoiling them with treats

Petting them consistently

Constantly talking to them

And to praise them I believe

They would be best friends

With their own comfy beds

But prefer cuddling together

And side by side getting fed

The dog would protect us

Both me and the cat

Kitty would catch any mice

Into his paws in two seconds flat

A trio that we would be

The three musketeers

I'd like that for a long time

For many many years
