Dog Gets Groomed
The dog got into the car
With me willingly, but
Was keening wailing
Before we ever arrived
At the groomers.
She looked at me like I
Was dumping her, which
Is ridiculous since we have
Had her for over five years,
And she is our completely
Spoiled baby.
I mentioned this to
My husband when I returned
Home, and he reminded me
That this dog had been
Dumped by two previous
Owners.
This was a long time
Ago, but apparently, she
Had tapped into this memory.
She returned home, all
Sassy and happy with
A biscuit-shaped bandana
Tied around her little neck.
The first thing she did
Was run up and smell the
Cat good and hard.
The cat Is always stunned
When the dog gets groomed, as
The dog looks like another
Dog.
This time she purred
And gave her a bit
Of neck to sniff.
All is right once again.
