Analysis of Nip
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
Training was a problem
But my eyes saw the orphaned puppy
Staffy girl had spirit for treats though
Still does
Then she settled in
So she ain't chewing the wall anymore
Just acting dopey
The Young Old girl got to say goodbye soon
Never did learn to stop nipping my toes with her claws.
