On Daisy the dog, whose life was saved by her cuteness
Our Daisy is a “special” dog
with such peculiar fears,
we wonder what is going on
between those soft, warm ears.
We got her from a shelter;
she was born completely deaf --
so twice within her first three months
she was abandoned, left.
A communication “expert”,
eagerly the task I met:
to train a dog who couldn’t hear
to be our family pet.
Through positive conditioning,
hand signals, flashing lights,
she mastered all the basics,
aced the class - oh what delight!
But deep within her heart ...

Wiener Walk
I bend down to pet the dachshund
because dog
The owner nods her approval
Aww, what a sweetie
my standard sincere statement
about any canine
who doesn't bare its' fangs
and sever tendons in my wrist
He just went for a wiener walk!
the 40-ish blonde woman tells me
Oh...
so, a walk with other dachshunds?
Did I really need to ask that?
Yes,
blonde 40 confirms
He had fun
but it doesn't take long for him to get tired
Yeah, like the men in the age group I'm...

THE ADVENTURE OF STUMPY AND THE DUMPSTER BOY
A three legged dog with brown curly fur waited in the alleyway.
The dog’s name was Stumpy.
The rain and ice had cracked the concrete. Years of waste had washed through. It was slimy and grey.
A boy of seventeen, ragged, hungry, and pale, was rummaging around a dumpster.
Stumpy barked.
A man dressed in beige grabbed hold of the Dumpster Boy and pulled him out. It was the manager of the Magnificent Burger House. He was sweaty and salty and his moustache covered his mouth.
“What are you doing in my Dumpster?”
The boy had hold of a bag of mouldy...

SATIVA
I found her in a gutter—or was it by the road?
A place no puppy should ever call home.
Small and shivering, she stumbled through dust,
a beige bundle of fur, cloaked in ticks and mistrust.
Jesse begged, pleaded, vowed she'd care,
Her voice carried promises, heavy with air.
No leash, no collar, no history to bind—
Just a stray, and a thought: She’s ours to find.
June 17th, she came to stay,
A tiny life, beige as dawn’s first ray.
No bigger than the palm of a grown man’s hand,
Yet she filled a void we didn’t understand.

Please Stand Up ?
ya use to be
so colorful
use to have a bounce
a laugh, joy
a fresh smile
you use to bring it,
but now
you're just
Slim Shady...

Puppy boy
Puppy boy
You won't need a muzzle, I promise I won't try to bite, slide on my collar, I'll be your puppy boy tonight
When I wear my collar, I will walk nicely by your side, in doors or out in public, I've got no shame to hide
I want you to pat me, if I do as I'm told would you tell me I've been good, I will sit and stay for you, like a good boy should
I will lay in my dog bed, or you can keep me in a cage, I will do everything you ask, I don't want to raise your rage
I don't want to get punishment, I'm a puppy who needs love, I want...

Followed Them To Two Little Pups
Peter went hiking in the woods and saw
paw prints on the ground and... being the
law abiding sort... followed them to
two little pups that he gave to his sister.
