"My doggy ate my homework.
He chewed it up," I said.
But when I offered my excuse
My teacher shook her head. 
I saw this wasn't going well.
I didn't want to fail.
Before she had a chance to talk,
I added to the tale:

"Before he ate, he took my work
And tossed it in a pot.
He simmered it with succotash
Till it was piping hot.

"He scrambled up my science notes
With eggs and bacon strips,
Along with sautéed spelling words
And baked potato chips.

"He then took my arithmetic 
And had it gently fried.
He broiled both my book reports 
With pickles on the side.

"He wore a doggy apron
As he cooked a notebook stew.
He barked when I objected.
There was nothing I could do."

"Did he wear a doggy chef hat?"
My teacher gave a scowl.
"He did," I said. "And taking it
Would only make him growl."

My teacher frowned, but then I said 
As quickly as I could,
"He covered it with ketchup, 
And he said it tasted good."

"A talking dog who likes to cook?" 
My teacher had a fit.
She sent me to the office, 
And that is where I sit.

I guess I made a big mistake 
In telling her all that.
'Cause I don't have a doggy. 
It was eaten by my cat.” 
― Dave Crawley

"Let your boat of life be light, packed with only what you need- a homely home and simple pleasures, one or two friends, worth the name, someone to love and someone to love you, a cat, a dog, enough to eat and enough to wear, and a little more than enough to drink; for thirst is a dangerous thing."  - Jerome K. Jerome, Three Men in a Boat

We recently bred our girl, Jewel, hoping for a litter in the late spring. However, the breeding was unsuccessful. We hope to breed her again in October/November, which we hope would mean puppies in December/January. Until then, our Daily Cute Fix will go weekly. We would love to hear what you think in the comments!

"I do not know whether it came from his own innate depravity or from the promptings of his master, but he was rude enough to set a dog at me.
