Labradoodle & Goldendoodle Forum
Twas the night before a fourth birthday, when all through the house
The only creature stirring was a very large VernMouse
The stockings were someplace, but we have no idea where
We have reverted to bags because St. Nicholas doesn’t care
Fudgie was snuggled all snug in her dog bed
While visions of rabbits danced in her head
Mama was in bed, and Dada was having a nightcap
Hoping mama was awake and not pretending to nap
When out in the kitchen, there arose a huge clatter
And Vern went berserk to see what was the matter
I remember thinking, oh dear, not tonight
Does that darn dog ever sleep and why so uptight
Luckily, I looked outside and there was no fallen snow
It was easier to turn on the lights and glance to and fro
When, what to my tired eyes should appear
But my daughter making dog treats and having a beer
She had opened the dehydrator and was giving it a test
Despite the fact that it was late and we wanted to rest
“Mom, it’s Fudge’s birthday on Christmas or did you forget?”
I wanted to make something special for our little brunette
Forget, me, never, how dare you imply
That my heart doesn’t light up when Fudge is nearby
For four years ago on a beautiful Christmas Day
Our Fudgie was born and to us made her way
We had some requirements and out they all came
I told the breeder repeatedly that this was our aim
“We want a brown coat!
Not too big, not too tall!
A laid back personality
Is a definite must for all
At the top of the list
We made it quite clear
Calm dog! Calm dog!
Do not dash our hopes!
We picked up our sweetie on a nice, March day
It was Friday the 13th, an omen you say
She was certainly brown and not too big or too tall
But calm she wasn’t, not outside at all
She was perfectly perfect in her doodley good looks
And we laughed when we met her until we all shook
The breeder told us she was the calmest one in the pack
We still laugh about that one, and call her a quack
We thank our stars for our Fudge every day
We would have missed out on so much if she hadn’t come our way
Sometimes you don’t know what you want till you get it
And then you see you fit together like a ball and a mitt
So, on this night before Fudge’s birthday, when you are ready for bed
Listen closely for bells, a whistle, or sled
Meanwhile, in our house, at the end of the night
We will all be saying, thank you for Fudge, you got it just right!
Happy Birthday, Fudge!! You light up our life!
