It's Back!

Remember the saying "Everything
Old Is New Again"?  Well, a version
Of one old thing has come back--
And it's providing some great fun.

Our dog has a pet rock.
It doesn't have a painted face--
But she carries it everywhere,
And always hides it in a different place.

She plays with it outside, and
If she forgets to bring it in--
She goes out later and has
No problem finding it again.

She wraps it in her blanket,
Or an old towel that is hers--
And takes great care pretending
To look for it--what a pleasure.

She'll toss or kick it
Around the yard or in
The house.  And then
Pounce on it and do it again.

So, at least at our house--
Pet rocks are back.
Something else will appear,
That is a fact, Jack.
