Poem about Irish Wolfhounds and my Tara

Wolfhound

When you go out with a wolfhound
The people all stand in your way
Asking the usual questions
These are the things they all say.

Will you look at that pony,
Look at the size of his feet;
What have you done with his saddle?
Tell me how much does he eat?

Why do you have a dog this size?
He's the biggest that I've ever met.
It must cost a fortune to feed him
Who would want that as a pet?

Do you keep him outside or inside?
Does he get to sleep on your bed?
What size was he as a puppy?
My dog is the size of his head.

So what do you say for an answer?
I tell them, as sweet as I can:
He's better behaved than your children -
And cheaper to keep than your man!!!

I thought I recognised it as one of Frans.

Did you visit her Bribiba site ?

She is on Dogsey you know.

Could equally apply to Borzois LOL

love Irish wolfhounds, and that's a gorgeous girl

lovely poem xxxx

Yep I did visit her site, very informative

I didn't know she was on Dogsey, would be lovely to chat

Yes - Fran joined after I asked her if I could post some photographs of Paddy - one of her previous dogs.

Her username is Bribiba

Lovely poem, must say we get all those questions asked when out with Ollie.

I like the poem

There's a couple near us who own an Irish wolfhound. He's called Dave I saw him this morning being walked by the lady, his head is about the height of her elbow. Such a beautiful dog

My friends have a wolfhound/airedale terrier cross called Archie. He's lovely too (a rescue dog from Dog's Trust).

lovely made me smile
