My B.F. Grand Opening Poem: Now there’s a perk to being away at work- Finally someone to tend to your furry friend A place where your best bud can have some fun And be part of his very own pack- Something an empty house does indeed lack So feel guilty no more about leaving “Fido” alone- For now he has a home away from home Somewhere to play and relax, in good company he’ll kick back- While you’re busy at work, or school or even out partying, feeling cool So go ahead and give it a try- Leaving your buddy with us makes it easier to say the daily goodbye!
