Xena

sue.evans

My new friend is really loyal to me

She came to our house only recently

She's a new member of the family

She's rambunctious, cheeky and an iron will

If you're not careful she'll steal your tea!

But my new friend is still loyal to me,

Her ears look too big, her tail cut short

She's tall, skinny and gangly like youths are

But beautiful and attractive in truth,

She wears the same grey coat for evermore

She wears no shoes on her four padded paws

Her timbre is a deep resounding bark

I feed her twice daily, take her for walks

Play throw and catch with her favourite ball

She's quite an athlete once I let her go

I clean up after her and brush her coat

Her nose cold and wet, her eyes bright and warm,

We curl up together giving each other warmth

My new friend, Xena, the Weimaraner

She who trusts, knowing I'll never harm her.

  • Comment from author about the poem: This poem was written a while ago when we got Xena- as a young dog - we adopted her. She is now 13 years old - struggles with her back legs and has epilepsy but she is still loyal to us as we are to her.

    THE WEIMARANER ~ A German Hunting Dog ~ this must be a first like my poems about Laboratories ! Thanks for your tribute to XENA written by a true Canninophile ! Even though your beautiful Poem (and Picture) describe XENA as you first saw her 13 long years ago ~ she is still a Puppy in your heart ! Yours and a Cuddle for Xena ~ BRIAN

      Ah thank you. Pets - particularly dogs soon become an integral part of the family! Xena certainly sets the agenda in our house😂
