Pet Poem, GiGi


With quite a large grasp of human’s language, 
Gigi is “little girl,” our princess.  She likes that.  
The smartest pup we ever had; brought home
As a rescue, found — they told us — wandering over
Open eastern Kentucky hills.  Lost from somewhere.  
— Perhaps intuitively seeking her destiny —
Until out of her cage, that unforgettable day,
She rolled before us onto her back, wagging her tail,
And Jim swept her up into his cradling arms, which
She’ll never forget: her eyes see him with adoration.
This long-haired, silky-black dashund mix,
With brown streaks on her bearded muzzle; then,
Barely 12 -pounds; with long ears;and
A sweeping, fan-tail arcing up over her back.

Now she is nearly eight years old (we guess).  
She becomes a friend to anyone who comes in,
Insisting on their attention, supposing the feeling
Is always mutual, and she will try to say so,
Because she has observed that  people talk, which
She seems to understand will get results.  Lately, Tr

She tries to speak with variations of sounds so 
Nearly parroting song.  She seems to hope she may 
Receive the “Oh my!”  exclamation that causes
Actions, meeting her trying and desires 
In response to her every vocalized “Yrr-owl!”
Plus, Gigi has learned to hop with precision into our
Unexpecting, cradle-embraces on our chests or 
On our laps.  ...Like a toddler, she
Will  then set herself, intent  to show her affection,   
Laying her head on our shoulders by our necks,
To give and to receive hugs.  They are amazing, 
Such sweet hugs for a couple with no children near!  

She exudes a telepathy, locking her soft eyes’
Sight to my own, so fixed, while I relay the extending
Of my heart’s love to hers, dear girl,
Almost angelic, always coming (with what feels
Like true compassion) close to my sad moments,
Patient and never considering fear.
Oh, little girl, Gigi, you brought love
In the door with you
And your hugs will live longer than time.
