I got a puppy for Christmas.
And I’m as happy as can be.
But it seems like my puppy thinks
That for a present she got me?

Mommy calls my puppy Piddles.
But Daddy calls my puppy Spot,
And it’s not because of color
It’s what my puppy does a lot.

I also got a baseball glove
And a game called Robotic Cop.
But don’t ever get a puppy
Unless you also get a mop!

Nothing teaches a child responsibility quicker than owning a pet. Of course if Mom and Dad do all of the feeding and cleaning up, the opportunity for learning is lost.

The little boy in Puppy For Christmas has quickly learned one drawback for owning a puppy but he’s still happy because the rewards greatly outnumber the burden.
