DO YOU KNO W MY DOG ?

                                           Hi, I'm "Cricket".

Do you know my dog?

We call her Cricket because she loves to jump.

She has a big yard with room to play.

Do you know my dog?

My dog Cricket has black and white fur.

She's a sheep dog with no sheep to chase.

So, do you know what she does?

She chases a tennis ball instead of sheep.

I throw it for her every morning; then she returns it to me.

Do you know my dog?

My dog Cricket plays soccer too.

I kick the soccer ball and she chases after it.

Then, do you know what she does?

She pushes it back to me with her nose.

We play this every afternoon.

       SO, MOVE OVER, MIA HAMM !

Do you know my dog?

My dog Cricket likes to dance on her two hind feet.

I say, "Dance, Cricket" and up she goes.

Do you know my dog?

She has a dog-toy and hides it from me.

But I sneak up and get it, then hide it from her.

Would you like to know my dog?

Then come visit and play with us.

We'll play catch, soccer, and maybe some tag.
