There’s a very special flavor
Of the easiest kind of chore.
My family used it on the day
We bought him at the store.
Our puppy was the wiggle kind
We named him Barney Fife.
Made a peanut butter promise
To keep him safe for life.
Peanut butter really sticks
And so did all our deeds.
We made a pact for good or bad,
To meet our Barney’s needs.
I’ve heard about the “comes” and “goes”
Of pets who fall from grace.
Messy feet and doggie hair
or chewing up the place.
Whatever happens, I’ll stand tall
And love him ever more.
‘Cuz we made a peanut butter promise
When we bought him at the store.
