Romping in the grass with all abound.
Full of mischief and plenty to go around.
We tug and we play, and wrestle to the ground.
Leaping and jumping, splashing all around.
Leaving our care givers laughing on the ground.

Digging to escape our outdoor pin of fun.
Watching our care givers jump up and run.
As they pick us up and put us in our pen to play.
We do it again two to three times a day.

Splashing in the pool, swimming and diving, having lots of fun.
Bopping, popping, hopping and running all around.
Dooking, chirping, and clucking all in play.
Wrestling and tugging creating joyous sounds.

The time to go in has come around.
As we are all tired and have slowed down.
We are all cranky and dozing off.
As we will continue playing in our sleep.

Joyce an her wee Sparra

When Lucky cam inta the hoose
I thocht she had brougten in a mooose
Good gracious that's ubsurd
Lucky lays doon a wee sparra bird.

There's nae doubt it wasn deid
She really must be aff her heid.
The sparra's fleeing here an there
I'll hav tay tack some affie care.

I shut Lucky in ain room an Foxie in anither
I culd be daing wioot aaw the bother.
I call Ranald ta gie soom help
But he jist says gie Lucky a skelp.

We're on our knees wi torch an towel
It wid be easy if it wer an owl
the bird is affy cannie
Intae every nook and crannie.

But then wei doors open wide
We chase we sparra way outside
A me if it were richt ta race
Tae pit everythin back in place.

Sold fir a farthing in days of old
I wid hae settled wi a pot of gold

Lucky is a cat and Foxie is a papillion dog.
