Must be animal week for me

Old Mother Hubbard
Went to the cupboard
To get her poor doggie a bone.
But when she got there,
The cupboard was bare,
And so the poor doggie had none.

This is the version I memorized as a child, though I've found several versions online.  Was this nursery rhyme part of your childhood, too?  I'm reading a book about animal intelligence and emotions, as I posted yesterday, and today I remember a sad doggie.  I wore my tee-shirt with three tigers on it yesterday.  It figures, doesn't it?
