Our Little Katie

Hobbling around
from room to room
Katie moves
like a little raccoon.
She barks and plays
just like the rest
trying to keep up
and doing her best.
Her legs are crooked
and wobble a bit
so she often just watches
and likes to sit.
We thought she was injured
from an accident
but the vets are sure
she was born with legs bent.
So we love her, keep her
as part of our pack
she thinks life is great
and that’s a fact.
