Handsome Henry

His stance is so regal, 
His back is so straight,
When not with his brother,
His tireless playmate.

His eyes look right at me,
Bore into my soul,
He seems almost human,
As if that's his goal.

My handsome little man,
So sweet and so true,
My loyal companion,
I'll always love you!

    1. Thank you so much! Are yours mixed with cavalier King Charles spaniels? Henry and his brother are cockapoos!

      1. That is exactly the mixture that they are – one is more poodle in his look and personality, and one is more cavalier with her wonderfully flopping ears… both are getting old (11 & 13)… but both are my wonderful best friends!!

      2. I love that! My dogs are the best companions! They just got groomed today, so I can see their sweet eyes again!

      3. One of mine was cut as a pup by a groomer in a rush, so the next few years were traumatic, until eventually just the sound of clippers makes him freak out… we now have to take him to the vet every 9 months where they have to fully sedate him to trim him right down to the skin while he’s unconscious… the other one is off to the hairdressers tomorrow for a mani-pedi-cut-and-blow-dry extravaganza… the things we do!! xox

      4. Oh, no! That’s awful! Thank goodness he can go 9 months between hair cuts!

        I hope spa day goes well tomorrow!
