Montelius

You were named for a cowboy

Strong, brave, and true

We miss you so much

Oh, how we loved you!

A cowboy’s puppy

With small wagging tail

Learning to growl

And to lick from a pail

You were not human

But sweeter than most

You made us happy

Of that we can boast

You left far too soon

Where did you fly?

Ah, to Paradise Ranch

Where puppies don’t die.

You were quite little

But we made a great fuss

For we loved our sweet puppy

Named Montelius
