My name is Louie
and I am very small.
SO small . . . I can’t reach most things.
TOO small . . . I find it tricky to play.
AWFULLY small . . . I am often teased by others.
EXTREMELY small . . . I feel invisble.
Sometimes I wish I could be
but being little can be fun . . .
I can SQUEEZE into the smallest spaces . . .
And hide in the most secret places . . .
I can be SNEAKY and sometimes trouble . . .
And I love to be picked up and cuddled.
I may only be little . . .
but to some . . .
I AM . . .
Louie wishes he could be BIG. He is too small to join in with the BIGGER dogs. But sometimes being little can be a lot of fun...
