My
Puppy
Chewy is
A little doll
I love him so much
He’s my very best friend
I can tell that he loves me
We play ball and chase together
He has a little son named Shady
He mated with A s***zhu named Ling Chow
They had two puppies together called Shorkies
Because Chewy is a Yorkie, they are so cute
You see, they make the moist lovely little family
Minny’s the girl
She’s mostly grey
Shady’s all black
Chewy is fawn
And also grey
They’re a picture
