Think Twice

To those who would own a Rough Collie, may I offer a little advice,…
Before you embark on this journey Please stop! step back and think twice.
Its a breed that needs lots of attention, doesn’t like being left on his own,
And treated with love and affection, your Collie he never will roam,
There’ll be no companion more faithful, There’ll be never a friend more true,
But please stop and look before leaping, is this really the right breed for you.
He’ll need lots of loving and grooming, he’ll need to go walks everyday,
So please don’t take on a Rough Collie, if you can’t spend time with him to play,
His fur he’ll leave on your carpet, his toys he’ll leave on your chair,
So please don’t take on a Rough Collie if you don’t have the time to be there,
Along side of all of his beauty, can come heartache and trouble and strife,
So if you take on a Rough Collie, please remember this dog is for life.
