Oh Dog! Today I am sharing yet another in my series of love poems to cookies. Today: a limerick!
My favorite thing’s the cookie.
It fills me with delight and glee.
I’ll sit or lie down
Or follow you ’round
In hopes that you’ll give one to me.
And don’t forget you’ve got until midnight tonight (Central Daylight Time) to enter DeDe’s TinTin giveaway! Woo woo woo!
Hey Jen, can I have that cookie now?
Thank you!
Hi! My name is Rumpy, and I am an Alaskan Malamute. I used to live in Middle Tennessee, but now my family and I reside in the Florida Panhandle of the US. I have this cool blog that I started in 2011. Here at rumpydog.com we talk about all things animal, with a focus on animal welfare and responsible animal companion guardianship. But we also like to throw in a heaping helping of cute! cute! cute! I mean, how could you look at me and not melt, right?
My story? Well, I was found on the side of a busy street. Jenny thought she would help me find my home, but nobody claimed me. So now I live with her. She's a pretty good ole' gal, but she is mighty stingy with the dog cookies. *sigh*
Also living here is DeDe- an older lady of unknown origins that was living at the trash dump. DeDe has many health concerns, yet you'd never know it by looking at her. She's the happiest dog in the whole world!
There are also some cats- they each have their own story. June Buggie is their chief spokesperson. He is 16 years old, crotchety, and not afraid to say what's on his mind.

*drools* mmmmm…..smells delicious!!!! Are those cookies the ones Jen baked? The shape of the bone is pawfect! Your eyes looking at cookies longingly are so cute! Nice limerick, Rumpy!!!
Posted by eripankevinw | April 6, 2012, 1:30 AMNo Kevin, a friend sent me some cookies and these are some of those. They are delicious and made with sweet potato!
Posted by rumpydog | April 6, 2012, 7:21 AMYou certainly deserve more than a cookie for that limerick, Rumpy. Are those home made?
By the way, advance happy Easter.
Huggies and Cheese,
Haopee
Posted by haopee | April 6, 2012, 1:35 AMOh Dog! Ya think I could get TWO cookies?
Posted by rumpydog | April 6, 2012, 7:21 AMYou’re making me drool with that cookie. I might have to come up with my own limerick.
Posted by Bongo | April 6, 2012, 1:49 AMI gotta tell ya though Bongo, the cats were close by trying to get MY cookie, so watch out for Scratchy!
Posted by rumpydog | April 6, 2012, 7:22 AMHappy Easter Rumpy. I hope you receive many Easter cookies!
Posted by Bassas Blog | April 6, 2012, 1:49 AMThanks Bassa! I Hope you do too!
Posted by rumpydog | April 6, 2012, 7:23 AMYea! Cookies for pups! Does this mean Jen’s out of the doghouse, or not? Excellent poem is very much deserving of the cookie reward. >^..^<
Posted by Annabelle Essert (@RainbowCatsx8) | April 6, 2012, 2:20 AMWell, she wasn’t in the doghouse with us dogs, it was Little Girl that put her there.
Posted by rumpydog | April 6, 2012, 7:23 AMYou actually have to beg for something? How awful - I never have to beg because I am beautiful. Everyone just worships me and if they do not, then I just give them a swat side the head with claws extended. Works wonders on everyone, except Mom. She gets mad and then puts me in the bathroom for a time out. Then later that night I get even for the bathroom thing by running across the bed when she is sleeping. MEEEEOOOOOOOWWWWW!!
I like the poem, it is really cool!
Posted by Cleo The-diva Sykes | April 6, 2012, 3:29 AMOh Dog! And I thought MY human was strict! *whispers* The timeout is really for her, because everybody knows that doesn’t work for cats.
Posted by rumpydog | April 6, 2012, 7:25 AMShear bliss this cookie huh Rumpy? It looks very tasty, but then, it’s history now…
Posted by marina kanavaki | April 6, 2012, 3:59 AMOh, but I have the memories……. *sighs*
Posted by rumpydog | April 6, 2012, 7:25 AMGreat poem and pix! Poor Rumpy had to pose for pix to get the cookie!
Posted by Sue at Talking Dogs | April 6, 2012, 6:05 AMIt’s better than not getting a cookie at all!

Posted by rumpydog | April 6, 2012, 7:27 AMThat’s a great poem Rumpy about one of cats AND dogs favorite things - treats! I love my cookies too - in my house it’s my Dad who’s the cookie dispenser. He has my cookie jar by his chair. I just go stand at his feet and look pitiful and VOILA - a cookie appears!
Happy Friday
Sammy
Posted by onespoiledcat | April 6, 2012, 9:30 AMJen’s Dad is the cookie dispenser in his house too. I wish I had a dad, because I bet they’re more generous than Jen is.

Posted by Sunshine | April 6, 2012, 10:56 PMAs a Chewish dog, mom had to clear the cupboards of all leavening, and while dogs are not required to observe this ritual…I volunteered to eat all cookies that needed disposition tonite.
I may have a cookie tummy ache, but it was worth it! nommy.
Happy Easter Rumpy.
Nosetap,
Chazz

Posted by pearlessence | April 8, 2012, 8:43 PMThe German: “Best poem ever - so easy to learn. I’m following my people around repeating it until they give in….I did have to go stand under the treat cabinet and chant it for awhile until they caught on. Mucho glad you created this one!”
Posted by philosophermouseofthehedge | April 9, 2012, 9:32 AMThe best kind of Limerick is the kind that involves a cookie! This post made us hungry. We’re off to try and earn some cookies.
