Triple Trouble

When we decided to get a Bijon puppy, our best friends got one too;

They named him little Ernie, and Nico we named you!

You came from different breeders, but your age was just the same;

We nicknamed you “Double Trouble”, for you loved your puppy games!

We made sure you got to visit nearly every single day;

You’d go to each other’s houses to frolic and to play!

This went on for almost two years, then we thought “Why not make it three”?

So we bought you a little brother, whom we aptly named Cody!

From the moment that you met him, you opened up your soul;

You gave to him your purest love, off your tongue the kisses rolled!

A few days later we went to Ernie’s, to introduce him to your friend;

Cody chased him for an hour, until poor Ernie’s breath was spent!

I thought you would be jealous, but you shared him graciously;

The three of you played together, just as precious as could be!

So we renamed you, “Triple Trouble”, three wild and crazy guys;

As we watched the pandemonium, tears of joy would fill our eyes!

So sadly you lost your dear friend Ernie, when he was only eight years old;

A bad tumor took him too early, the sad story we then you told!

And only six years later, we lost our dear Nico too;

What once was “Triple Trouble”, now Cody, there’s only you!
