Pet Poems
Shiekee My Pup by Suzae Chevalier
Shiekee, Shiekee wagging her tail
at the top of the steps, little bark no yelp.
She came to me as scared as can be
She was yelled at when she peed.
She was even scared to pee outside
She would not touch the ground
She would run and hide.
She did get potty trained
with a little refrain.
I started traveling so I had to give Shiekee away,
I gave her to a girl, but she did not want to stay.
She actually pooped all over her place
I laughed I know she was playing a game.
Girl called up and said “Is she potty trained? ”
I got Shiekee home and she wagged her tail and smiled
I knew what she was doing all the while.
Now Shiekee is not with me
she is with a lady down the street.
She plays with a Beagle in the backyard,
they play real rough, they play real hard.
She has a playmate now and I am glad
she was the cutest and only girl dog I ever had.

Ta-Shieka My Pup – Poem by Suzae Chevalier
Barking, barking your cute little bark-
I found you on a prayer and a lark.
You were a traveling “runaway pup”
who made your home anywhere
you’ld end up.
You were my birthday present
in 1993-
Straight from Kansas in the middle of wheat.
Now, I’m so happy
you became my pet
all those years I’ll never forget.
All the memories of running
in the fields
like when I sprained my ankle
you kneeled at my heels.
Making sure I was home & safe
I return the love in so many ways.
Now it’s sad that I was not with you
if I would of known earlier
I would of flew
flew up to see you.
One last precious time
to say “I love you pup” and
my say last goodbye…

Maya’s Martini
Martini the little shiatsu was cute as can be
Wagging his tail so carefree.
by the ocean with good friend Suzy.
Now he was very aware
for when he got scared
he hid under Maya’s desk
and there he would rest
his head on Maya’s small feet
then he’ld look up for a treat.
“Now why did you name him Martini? ”
I asked Maya quizzically one day.
Then Maya turned her head to say
“Well, this is the story Sue Chevalier–
“Martini was named after the club
where people like to dance–
I met my husband Ron
there by circumstance.”
All three used to live together by the sea
Martini passed on but Maya has fond memories
of her sweet Shiatsu dog named Martini.
