I Made My Dog a Valentine

I made my dog a valentine, She sniffed it very hard, Then chewed on it a little while and left it in the yard. I made one for my parakeets, a pretty paper heart, They pulled it with their claws and beaks until it ripped apart. I made one for my turtle, all he did was get it wet. I wonder if a valentine is wasted on a pet. By: Jack Prelutsky
