Second Gear
We went to the park the other day
It felt good to stretch our legs and get a good run
Tug thinks he can catch me
But I haven't even kicked into second gear yet
Taste Test
I can hardly see the grass in my backyard
There are leaves all over the place
Mom blows them in a big pile and
They make a wonderful crunching noise
When I roll around in them
They don't taste too bad either
The New Toy - Part Two
It might be Tug's new toy
And I did let him have it for a while
But I'm the big sister and he has to learn
What's mine is mine and what's his
Is mine too
The New Toy - Part One
One of mom's friends gave her a
New toy to give to the puppy
That would be me
I don't care if Della sticks her
Tongue out all day
It's my new toy and I am going
To play with it first
Chutzpah
Oh Lord, please give me strength
When I went to puppy class with
My little brother I heard
The teacher say,
"Tug has Chutzpah"
I am almost afraid to google it
Exhausted
It's very hard work being a puppy
With all the leaves and sticks to be gathered
And the tigers to be hunted
A boy has to catch a few zzz's when he can
Leaf Sweeper
I have been given the job of clearing
The tennis court of leaves and branches
It's very hard work but
Someone has to do it
Earrings
Mom says it looks like I got a new earring
I don't think that's so funny
In Jail
They tell me it's for my own safety
Just because I chew everything I see
Doesn't mean I'm going to hurt myself
Can you believe they locked me up in jail
At least it's not solitary confinement
Snoopy and I share a cell
Introducing Tug
Hi, my name is Tug
My big sister, Della, says
It's a good thing my name starts with "T"
'Cause "T" stands for trouble
And that's what I am
The New Guy
I think mom and dad have lost their minds
They went and got a puppy
That means I have to be the big sister
This guy is cute alright
But he has sharp little teeth
