Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Chanel

Chanel is now 20 years old.
This blond wirehaired dachshund has set
The oldest dog record we're told,
Affirmed by all - mistress to vet.
Most of her life an army pooch,
She's lived on bases round the globe.
Her salute - a lickety smooch;
Her uniform - a furry robe.
She's now a civilian retired,
Enjoying life like a puppy.
Her tale certainly has inspired
A 12 year old dachshund like me.

Chanel - Happy Birthday to you.
Just keep on doing what you do.
