Now tomorrow we’re Casterton bound,
Where plenty of good dog folk are found.
The leads are packed, the ute’s all set,
With a talented team we won’t forget.
For first things first, before the trip,
They gathered round with eager lip.
Not one stood back, not one said “pass”,
When Enduro hit the feed-room grass.
Little Devil tucked into Puppy feed,
For growing bones and all they need.
Snare chose Working Dog Plus,
And made short work of every crust.
With wagging tails and shining coats,
And hopeful dreams in country blokes,
We’ll head off early with pride and cheer,
To sell some dogs we’ve raised right here.
Though truth be told, if dogs could speak,
They’d probably ask for a second sneak
Of Enduro feed before first light,
And another bowl before goodnight!
So here’s to buyers, sellers too,
And the mateship that the dog world knew.
We’ll see you all when daylight’s born,
At Casterton tomorrow morn.
