Ohh, my eyes tinge with tears. Anybody who's ever loved and lost a dog will whole-heartedly relate in a heart-felt way. Your few words convey huge emotion! :) P.S. love the pic that goes with your Haiku!

I do write the odd serious poem Eve - no we have never had a pet dog and have no pets at all as I'm allergic to animal fur ... if I did have a pet it would be a cat:-( hugs jan x

The tittle is a great pun! Why is it that pets are so fine, and we are sometimes not?

I'm not really allowed on the computer right now...I fell and broke my back! I'm still in the hospital and my wife just left to use the bathroom so I grabbed the tablet to tell someone that I'm sorry I haven't been on the last few days....there is a reason! I slipped in the bathtub and landed right on my back, broke it in two places, hurts like hell too. So if you could let everyone know, I'll be back when I can actually look at a computer without pain! Thank you Jan..Oh and your poem is awesome

Jan Allison
Date: 8/26/2017 7:17:00 AM
