Dog with a Satisfied Mind

I'm a fairly contented hound.   
What I seek is not profound. 
As long as I have a snout to sniff,
that certain something to take a whiff, 
and a tail to briskly wag, 
my life's in the bag.

Well from our point of view, I think even the most simplistic things in life can make us all happy.. and make every moment so worth it.. "What I seek is not profound" ahh love that! The way you've written for the dog's perspective but can apply in many interpretations.. always a pleasure reading you, dear David.. keep shining, sharing and scribbling 💫💫🌟🌟

Thanks, Hiya! Yep, I think, I'm becoming more like a dog. I like a sunny day, for my back not to hurt, and for a stomach full of tasty food. That's pretty much it - lol!

Yep, I don't want to short sell dogs, but they seem to have a pretty simple mind.

hmm, I was wondering if that last line was a bit confusing. I was kind of using that expression, "it's in the bag", meaning "piece of cake" or something like that, meaning that this dog has the problem of life solved. I'm not too sure I hit the mark on this one. Maybe the last line should be "A happy life - it's in the bag!"
