Our Chocolate Cookie

'Cookie liked picnic too,
With whatever she could retrieve and chew…
In the jaws of this cheeky little pup
Was anything she could find and excitedly pick up.
Each day a precious item, from the Ledger family, she would seek.
With a lunge and a tug, swift with the goods, she would retreat.
This mischievous chocolate brown Labrador pickle
Just wanted attention, to play, have a tickle.
In time she would settle down, and show her love.
With the Ledger family she would fit like a glove.'
