" the Doggone Dog Contest"

“Doggone It” Doggone it, all good male dogs mark their spot, But Browne’s leak one day, he should have not. Received sudden recompense, From leak on electric fence, And now, both of my dog’s kidneys are shot! Now, he is as mean as a junk yard dog, Main reason I use him hunting the hog, When he digs in the moss, His teeth well need a floss, Kidneys are bad and his mind in a fog. My Browne has no certain pedigree, Heinz fifty seven very plain to see, Since his bout with the fence, And shocking recompense, His frequencies descern his spots to pee.

(see below first) This is cute what you said about Browne. It reminds me of a stupid but loveable dog I had, Ollyver who would NOT stop marking our corners. John, I wonder if sometimes judges are not seeing MY poems. I know a few times I have gotten really good remarks and not so much as an HM from a judge. Do you think the contests might be messed up? well, goodnight now. LUv, Andrea

John, you just commented to me and I came here to your list of poems and scrolling down I saw your doggie post. Ok, listen to this! I just spent all night judging 35 poems. Yours that I am looking at right here was not among them! I am totally confounded. My contest will not even close. And I remember as I was finishing up my judging, some poem I had not even viewed previously popped up out of nowwhere (not yours unfortunately). I'm really sorry. This one may have placed with me!

This is good John. Haven't put one in yet myself but will try to get something together. My son once did the same thing the dog did, he didn't like the 10,000 volts either. Can;t say as I blame either of them. Charles

Very funny, John! Browne sounds like quite a colorful dog. "Men as junk yard dogs" and being a Heinz 57 of pedigrees. Not surprising he is more careful now when looking for a place to pee. Ouch! That electric volt had to sting. Best wishes for sucess in Andrea's contest, dear friend. Love, Carolyn
