Walking the dog

From my window I see the dog walkers as they parade past
Leash in their left hand, poop bag held tightly in their right
All sizes, shapes and breeds, both owners and their dogs
Charges safely tethered on their leash, straining to be free
Anxious to check their pee-mail or send a message on its way
I see the walker poised, ready to scoop up each catch of the day
Quickly wrap it tightly and tuck the warm and squishy deposit
Firmly into their pocket before hurrying on their way

    Ha ha! So cute and a little gross! It's funny you said pee mail because thats what I call it. This makes me miss walking my dogs. One died and my ex kept the other because he paid for her (I believe in adoption, btw). I was feeling kinda down as you might have noticed from that Nam poem (thanks for commenting) but this made me laugh. Thanks :)

    No poop in the pocket for me! A hundred pound Dobbie has quite the pile... Ha,ha..I'm glad I found this! I was going to write about the same thing awhile back?

    I remember those days when I had to walk my dog. It's been almost five years now since he left. Good write here.

    It was not you, this I know because my window is far far away. Thank you for your comment and I hope that it made you chuckle a bit.

    I got the giggles at these lines:"scoop up each catch of the day" and "and tuck the warm and squishy deposit Firmly into their pocket before hurrying on their way" aahahahaa. Thanks for the laugh and it is so true! Take care, Cindy aka Lucinda Lu Cayton
