A young Lab came to stay, for his first proper week,
With games to be played and new friends to go seek.
There were walks, there were zoomies, there were games by the score,
And every new adventure just made him want more!
He bounced through the fields with his tail held up high,
Meeting new friends as they wandered by.
He played and he sniffed and he raced here and there,
Living his best Lab life without a single care!
But then came the floors, oh, what a surprise!
His paws started slipping, his legs took to the skies!
He wobbled and skidded, then slid with a clatter,
Like Bambi on ice, “What on earth is the matter?”
So out came the mats, one, two, three & more.
And suddenly walking was easy once more.
Then off to his bed for a peaceful good night,
He slept without stirring till morning light.
We can’t wait for his next visit, that much is true…
But we’ll put down the mats before he comes through!
