It’s morning, I wake up and whine;
Mom pats my head and I do just fine.
I pee on the carpet and go back to bed
“Why no breakfast?”, I wonder and dread.
Dad takes me outside and we walk for a while.
I smell the coriander and strut in style.
Mommy comes with a bowl of hot milk and biskis
I gobble them all in a jiffy.
It’s time to play with Dad before he leaves for work
After which I go under the bed and lurk.
I catch my sleep and dream of Scooby Doo
That’s when I howl and cry and does Kung-Fu.
I wake up with a jerk and find Mommy smile
“It’s not funny”, I glare and scowl.
We go to the lawn and I sniff off everything that we pass
Chew on sticks, leaves, mud, and grass.
I sneak out and run at full throttle
Leaving my Mom fearful and fretful.
I make a dash for the stair
Mom is pretty quick, I swear.
She takes out the blob of mud that I tried to gulp in
But all I do is look at her and grin.
I throw up a bit and peek at her
Uh-Oh! She looks aghast with horror.
Mom phones Dad and says “I am scared”,
All I wonder is, “What’s there to despair?”
Mom sits in the sun and reads a book
I smell the flowers and give an “it’s yum yum” look.
I love it outside for I hop into Dad’s shoe
Scratch at a flea and chase the big moo.
I sniff the grass. I sniff the wind.
I sniff and sniff until Mom declares,”Let’s go in!”
I wait near the door as Daddy comes in
I bark at him and wag my tail
I turn on my charms and there’s no need to wail.
Mom feeds me Fish Pulao,
Dad let loose a chuckle as I go round and round the bowl.
Evening has come and Dad takes me to the lawn
I play fetch with him, though all I do is roll on the ball.
He calls me Rabbit and Mommy calls me Mongoose
All out of sheer love, but I get confused.
I race through the home and scatter my toys
I play with Mr.Fishy and Ms. Duckie, my bae.
Ah! Mom turns off the light and says, “It’s time for bed”
Dad says, “Let’s go, boy”, and pats my head.
I get in the bed and think of my day
It was so much fun, I got to play.
Mom tucks me in and gives me a kiss,
Snuggles me tight, oh! It’s sheer bliss.
She kisses me again and whispers so softly,
“Love you and sleep tight, my darling Muffy”.

Enjoyed reading the day out of muffy in the form of poetry , love him
Ha ha! such a cute one. He is a darling. I have been loving Muffy’s pictures and stories on Instagram. Pets sure have a way to cheer us up and the love is so unconditional. VT and I sometimes think if we had space and if we weren’t our almost 8 hours each day, we would have loved to have one 🙂
Wow what beautiful lines. Plus I love the name. Mufasa!
I like the way you described the pups say in the form of a rhyme 🙂
Haha… this is beautifully creative. And I can so relate having had 3 decades of these little fellows running our house!
Oh Shalini to be a puppy! What a life . I assume your little Muddy is a Golden lab / retriever. That’s my favourite breed . At one time my mom said I’d have dogs rather than kids but living in Mumbai made children easier. How lovely to have a dog. They truly shower you with unconditional love, sit when you tell them to and keep you happy no matter what.
What a day! Mufasa is really blessed to have an active and warm day, every day.
So very adorable, cutie pie…
Oh this is like revisiting my days with my Chikoo! Aren’t they a bundle of fun and energy and love?
Hugs to Muffy! Enjoy his puppyhood Shalini, for soon he will be a big boy dragging you around and enjoying it all! ❤❤❤❤❤
Awwww he is so loved… And he gets to eat your fish pulao… I am so jealous. Your poem reminded me of my earlier days with my dog Sirius. Pups bring such joy to life. ❤
Woof woof muffy.. You seem to be growing up into one cute little yet naughty boy!!! And mommy dearie pampers you with the best of food)fush pulao????) awesome indeed. Stay happy the same way and spread more cheer and happiness to mommy daddy and your aunts as well :))
Oh this was adorable Shalzz- this guy sounds really adorable! How well you have threaded a day in his life into a lovely verse – good one. A big huga nd a kiss to this little badmash! 🙂
This fellow is an absolute darling. Love following his antics on Instagram!
What a sweet and cherished poem, Shalini 🙂
Muffy is so adorbs. And this little dedication to him is so very cute. Lovely to hear about his day. He is one helluva lucky little guy. Big snuggles to him.
