June, the Little Bugger

                                        
She gets on my nerves,
sniffing and jumping all over me.
She tries being friendly but I give her the cold shoulder, for I am the princess here.
Zenia is the name, I may not be a warrior princess, nevertheless, I am the Princess of my castle.
Zenia
Zenia
Princess to Daddi, Daddy and Booe or, is it Booee, what is in the spelling?
While Daddi goes, zuzubee
Daddy goes Zenieee
Boo goes zenudi, babbudi, bachhudi, chuchudi and the list is long.
I was in heaven, showered by love, kisses, and lots of yummy food, then it happened.
Now I shall tell you the story of a little bugger named June.

In came the little bugger to ruin my bliss.
She pees anywhere she pleases,
Runs in and out of rooms.
Drinking out of my bowl, trying to eat my food.
Oh, she took my old chewy bone, toy and rope. 
That is how she gets on my nerves.

At, first she was scared and curled up into a ball.
They gave her water in my snack bowl
She was bathed with my shampoo and dried with my towel.
They gave her water in my snack bowl.
She took refuge in my favourite place to nap.
That is how she gets on my nerves.

Then began to wonder 'what to do with her?'
One wanted her to go while another wanted her to stay, the third sat on the fence.
Yet, they cared for her.
And the little bugger enjoyed all the attention.
Oh! She gets on my nerves.

Mind you, I was not ignored, but I liked playing the'neglected one' card.

Then when it was time for the ritual walk, she got my old leash.
She was happy to drag them along, while I like then to think that I tag along.
As a pupper, her curiosity drags her far, yet she turns around to if  I am coming along.
Ah, she gets on my nerves,

She is just about 6 months old.
An Indie for sure.
They think she is part of a litter from around here.
Somebody took her home and gave her a red leash.
Alas, forgot about her soon.
A mix of black and white.
I do not know whether she has got her shots or not.
But she sure is a little bugger herself.
All spritely and bouncy, she likes to sleep under the couch.
Watching outside the balcony is her favourite pass time.
Forever hungry she meditates outside the kitchen.
She sleeps in her rug surrounded by her toys.
She is a pupper I get it all, I would still say 'She gets on my nerves'.

P.S. Did I tell you they named her June, she was found on 22nd June 2020, hence the name.
She is up for adoption.
