Sedona's Moonlight Sonata

A tiny little Chihuahua,
She looked like a little rat!
And Sedona spoiled her totally,
She even harassed the cat!
This tiny little puppy
Took over our little home.
Yipping, yapping, whining
Each time we left her alone.

Solid black is she,
With white patches on hind feet.
A small white patch on her chest,
We thought was really neat.
"Moonlight splashing across the shadows",
The color reminded Sedona of.
So Moonlight Sonata became her name,
And she gave us all her love.

Chihuahuas only bond with
One or maybe two.
Sedona was her "mommy",
But it was me that she clung to.
This little rat-sized dog,
With ears like bat wings,
Using those bug-eyed puppy eyes,
When she got into everything.

"Yippers, yappers, ankle-biters"
Are things people call the Chi.
"Demon dog", and "bad",
"Evil dog", "bad seed".
But to me and to Sedona,
She's a bundle of joyful love.
Protective of her little pack;
With strangers, she's too rough.

No one comes into my house,
Without approval from the pack.
If I don't tell her it's okay,
The stranger gets attacked.
This tiny little chi
Stole my heart, right off the bat.
I love her "spit-fire" attitude -
This dog is no door mat!

She made a pit bull back right down,
And stay away from me.
She fought off a german shepherd
That chased our cat up in a tree.
She's got a temper just like mine,
No one would call her tame.
But she's full of love for her little pack;
Moonlight Sonata is her name.
