Dear Little Dog


Dear little dog
you can wag your tail,
the postman has come
and brought you some mail.

That tabby cat
that you so liked to chase,
sends you a postcard
from his new safe place.

The neighborhood butcher
has sent a bill,
for those juicy chops
and the meat for the grill.

There is also a note
from your usual walker,
he can't come today
as he is playing soccer.

And an invitation
to come and eat,
with that darling poodle
at the end of the street.

The postman is here
with all these and more,
but you're barking again
and he won't come to the door.


It is so nice to be back
I've missed you all!

Welcome back Amalia. Your little dog and poem are so sweet. I hope it has cooled off there now and you enjoy a beautiful fall season.

Bridget said...

Missed you - and what a perfect way to return! I love that doggy - did you use a pattern or create it yourself?

Conniecrafter said...

Your dog is just the cutest ever, fun poem, luckily our mail gets delivered out at the road, but my dog walks out there with me to go fetch it :)

Olga Poltava said...

What an adorable dog and a sweet poem!

Tammy@T's Daily Treasures said...

Ha-ha! So very cute! I've been going through boxes that have water damage due to a leaky water heater. I used to write little poems all the time and had a whole folder of them saved. Anytime someone had a birthday or other celebration, I'd write them a poem and draw a card. Sadly, I had to toss them all because of mildew. It's been quite some time since I wrote anything.

Lara B. said...

Your dear little dog is the cutest ever Amalia. Your funny poem reminds me of our dog, LOL. It's great to see you back to creating!

AnnMarie aka Vintage Junkie aka NaNa said...

I've miss your adorable handiwork and poems! You have come back with such a cute doggie and clever little poem. LOVE!

September Violets said...

Hey! You've been gone longer than I have! And you brought a sweet little dog back with you ;) How lucky to have his mail delivered to his door ... my mailman delivers it across the street to a big fancy smancy community mailbox (as of last year). So my poor dog has to be extra vigilant to remember to look for the little mail delivery truck to park across the street so he can bark and bark and BARK! at the mailman from the front window. It takes a long time for the mail to be delivered in all those tiny little boxes (bark bark BARK!!).

missed you!!

Glad to see you are back in blogland:) And many thanks for sharing this cute dog with SEASONS! I wonder if you also like to knit? Am bringing it up because with knitting there are different textures than crocheting and sewing, and it seems you like that...no pressure, just a question! Now you're back, hope to "see" you next week with one of your lovely inspirations:) Wishing you a beautiful rest of the week!

A lovely comment, Barbara. I've missed blogging and I've missed you all.

handmade by amalia said...

Oh, this is sad. I hope your daughter will fall in love with a new dog very soon.

handmade by amalia said...

My postman brings mostly bills :-) It seems nobody writes a proper letter anymore.

handmade by amalia said...

A compliment indeed, Sigrid :-)

handmade by amalia said...

That is too bad, Tammy. I used to write birthday poems as well but that well has dried :-)

handmade by amalia said...

Nice to see that your dog can still have his bit of fun, Wendy :-)

handmade by amalia said...

It is the window seat. You're not supposed to sit there without a book. I'm a Jane Eyre fun.

handmade by amalia said...

WOW Deb. Really. WOW.

handmade by amalia said...

Thanks Lisa. And Shana Tova.

handmade by amalia said...

Yes, but he is only half of a present. The other half I'm still working on. All will be revealed :-)

I love knitting. Crochet is my favorite but the result is never as soft.

How kind, Doreen. The little dog is sitting proud and tall.
