Long on Love: A Valentine’s Day Ode to My Doxie Sweethearts (with Video)
Welcome to the Wednesday Dogs of Dogster! Every Wednesday, we share a story from one of our Dogsters. This week is about Meagan and her dynamic duo of dachshunds, Draper and Rue.
In honor of Valentine’s Day this week, I decided to write a poem and a little song dedicated to my sweet little loves, Draper and Rue. Since I am no poet or songwriter, I opted to write these little odes as a fun play on famous, well-known melodies and “pupified” them!
These were super fun to think up and I hope you enjoy singing along to them. Maybe they’ll inspire you to write your own little melodies for your pets this Valentine’s Day!
Let us know in the comments below if you’ve ever written a song or poem for your fur babies, and please share them with us if you have! We’d love to hear them!
My dearest weens,
Roses are red, and so are your toys, My Dachshund duo, you bring endless joy.
Your tiny legs scurry, your tails wag with flair, Two little hearts bursting with love and care.
Your barks fill the air, and you snuggle in tight, Every day with you both is just pure delight.
Through blankets you burrow, to make the perfect nest, Two tiny adventurers, who know me the best.
With treats in my pocket, and kisses on cue, My world spins around both Draper and Rue.
Draper, my charmer, so dapper and sweet,
While Miss Rue brings the sass with her speedy little feet.
From morning sprints to lazy day naps, Draper and Rue, you fill our life with laughs.
With floppy ears and plenty to share, Every moment's sweeter with you as a pair!
L-O-V-E
(To the tune of "L-O-V-E" by Nat King Cole)
L is for the way you love to dig O is for your odd-shaped body—long but quick! V is very vocal, when you bark at all the neighbours E is for your eager nose that sniffs out all the flavors
Draper runs and Rue is close behind Side by side, their tails in perfect time Two in mischief, always Digging holes and racing through hallways Draper and Rue were made to love each other!
L is for your legs so short and sweet O is how you own the couch and steal my seat V is when you vanish underneath the covers E is every bite you steal while fooling all the others
Draper, Rue, you fill my days with cheer Joy, joy, joy is all you bring when you are near Two best friends, unshaken Side by side, no path forsaken Love was made for Draper & Rue!
This article features Meagan, Draper, and Rue in our Wednesday Dogs of Dogster series.

An avid animal lover for as long as she can remember, Meagan is excited to not only work for a pet company whose mission is to give pets and their owners the best lives but to also have the opportunity to share her daily escapades with her two furry tornadoes—because who doesn’t like to read about chaos?
Meagan is the proud mom of 2 sassy, yet cuddly miniature Dachshunds 20+ plant babies and one charming but mischievous human (who sometimes thinks he’s a dog).
When she’s not in a frantic chase to keep her crew in line, Meagan loves to visit the mountains to go snowboarding, dance at music festivals, whip up culinary experiments in the kitchen, hunt down new cafes and restaurants, and daydream about all the exotic places she wants to explore next!
