Golden Gift

"Golden Gift" sweet life as a golden retriever a good therapy dog, stress reliever changing lives I am called Venus de Milo wagging my tail I shout a huge "hello". after duties are done I speed round the yard barking so softly while still standing guard my friends, Thor and Thunder, are gentlemanly "Danes" treating me like a lady while we play doggie games. at dinner, my mistress, allows me to share canine chow with "the guys" a midnight blue pair we dash for the leashes for a walk in the park enjoy greeting people till long after dark. soon bedtime arrives and my friends paw "bye-bye" I trot to my blanket in a basket nearby howl goodnight to the Moon as I nod off to rest tomorrow duty calls and I must look my best! *For Doggone Tales Contest *June 22, 2012

I have never had a pet dog - although I did have a cat named Bilbo for many years. Your poem is a nice tribute to a four - legged friend. Peace & Love Matthew Anish

This is a glorious write and the rhyming is perfect in this poem! And the content is oh so wondrous my friend! I'm glad you took in this great dog! We just acquired a new Yorkie several months ago and he is very spoiled! His name is Levi! I love dogs and cats both though we don't have a cat at the moment! You have written a wonderful poem Linda-Marie! Great Work!!

What a nice gift Linda-Marie. May you enjoy your beautiful Venus de Milo for a long long time! Truly pets are stressed reliever. I got a terrier just recently, her name is Tori Toto. Enjoy the summer. Good luck in the contest. Love Dalila
