“Nick the Pekechi and his obsessive love of lambchop stuffies”

There once was a dog with a mop-top of cream,  
A Pekechi named Nick, with a lamb-loving dream.  
His fur was a bundle of softness and fuzz,  
And his nose had the twitch of a true canine czar.

From morning’s first yawn to the evening’s low light,  
Nick hunted his flock—what a heartwarming sight!  
He’d bound through the hallway with paws tap-tap-tapping,  
Then pounce on his prize: a plush shape for napping.

Lambchop, soft Lambchop, so fuzzy and white,  
Curled up in his teeth as he shook with delight.  
He nibbled the ear with a tender devotion,  
And carried it everywhere—oh, what a motion!

The living room’s forest of chairs and old shoes  
Was a pasture for Nick where no sheepdog could lose.  
In rainstorms or sunbeams, he guarded his treasure,  
A fierce little herder with limitless pleasure.

And when sleepy eyes blinked away his last play,  
He’d snuggle with Lambchop to end every day.  
Curled nose-to-stitched-nose, in a patchwork embrace,  
Wagging at dreams of a soft woolen chase.

If you ask for a hero, or friend tried and true,  
Nick and his Lambchop—there’s none quite like you!  
For love’s not just grand in the large or the wild,  
But in one Pekechi and his long-suffering child.
