Stony Mountain Malamutes
Welcome to the "Dog Stuff" of Oogabooga.
Here is a look at life with our Alaskan Malamutes.
for the craving will grow.
There's no doubt they're addictive, wherein
lies the danger.
While living with lots you'll grow poorer
and stranger.
One dog is no trouble, and two are so
funny.
The third one is easy, the fourth one's a
honey.
The fifth one delightful, the sixth
one's a breeze,
You find you can live with a houseful
with ease.
So how 'bout another? Would you
really dare?
They're really quite easy but oh,
Lord the hair!
With dogs on the sofa and dogs on the
bed,
And crates in the kitchen, it's no
bother you've said.
They're really no trouble, their
manners are great.
What's just one more dog and just one
more crate?
The sofa is hairy, the windows are
crusty,
The floor is all footprints, the
furniture dusty.
The housekeeping suffers, but what do you
care?
Who minds a few nose prints and a
little more hair?
So let's keep a puppy, you can always
find room,
And a little more time for the
dust cloth and broom.
There's hardly a limit to the dogs
you can add,
The thought of a cutback sure makes you
sad.
Each one is so special, so useful, so
funny.
The vet, the food bill grows larger,
you owe money.
Your folks never visit, few friends come to
stay,
Except other dog folks, who all live
the same way.
Your lawn has now died, and your
shrubs are dead too,
But your weekends are busy, you're
off with your crew.
There's dog food and vitamins,
training and shots.
And entries and travel and motels
which cost lots.
Is it worth it, you wonder? Are you caught
in a trap?
Then your favorite dog comes and
climbs in your lap.
His look says you're special and you
know that you will
Keep all of the critters in spite of
the bill.
Some just for showing and some just
to breed.
And some just for loving, they all
fill a need.
But winter's a hassle, the dogs hate
it too.
But they must have their walks
though they're numb and you're blue.
Late evening is awful, you scream and
you shout
At the dogs on the sofa who refuse to
go out.
The dogs and the dog shows, the
travel, the thrills;
The work and the worry, the pressure,
the bills.
The whole thing seems worth it, the
dogs are your life.
They're charming and funny and off
set the strife.
Your lifestyle has changed. Things
won't be the same.
Yes, those dogs are addictive and so is the
dog game!
