One Dog is no trouble and Two are so funny
The third one is easy, The fourth ones a honey.

The fifth one is delightful, The sixth ones a breeze.
You'll find you can live with a houseful with ease.

So how  'bout another? Would you really dare?
There really quiet easy, But oh lord the hair.

With dogs on the sofa and dogs on the bed
And crates in the Kitchen, it's no bother you said.

They're really no trouble, Their manners are great
What's just one more dog, and one more little crate?

The sofa is Hairy, The windows are crusty
The floor is all footprints, The furniture is dusty

The housekeeping suffers but what do you care?
Who minds a few nose prints  and a little more hair?

So let's keep a puppy, you can always find room
And a little more time for the dust cloth and broom

There's hardly a limit to the dogs you can add
The thought of a cutback sure makes you feel sad

Each one is special, so useful, so funny
The food bill grows larger, you owe the vet money

Your folks never visit, few friends come to stay
Except other dog folks who live the same way

Your lawn has now died, and our  shrubs are dead too
Your weekends are busy your off with your crew

There's dog food and vitamins, training and shots
And entries and travel and Motels which cost lots

Is it worth it You wonder?  Are you caught in a trap?
Then that favorite comes up and climbs in your lap

His look says your special and you know that you will
Keep all of the critters in spite of the bill

Some just for showing, and some just to breed
And some just for loving, The all fill a need.

Winter is a hassle, but the dogs love it true.
And they must have their walks Tho' you are numb and blue

Late evening is awful, you scream and you shout
At the dogs on the sofa who refuse to go out

The dogs and the dog shows, The travel, The thrills
The work and the worry, the pressure, the bills

The whole thing seems worth it,  The dogs are your life
Their charming and funny, and offset the strife

Your lifestyle has changed, Things just won't be the same
Yes those dogs are addictive, and So's  the dog game
