I love my dog, but sometimes she really needs to chill-out..lol

In my great room I relax 
Staring at my surroundings
The lighten curio shelters 
Trinkets of horses and dolphins 
Atop the curio 
A Brazilian lady of porcelain 
Sitting shirtless, her head rests in her palm 
Beside her on center wall 
Painted charcoal black, the family tree 
Pictures dangle on leafless branches 
Standing tall, a teepee shaped lamppost 
Brightening and complimenting the oriental carpet 
The twenty year sentimental object in the corner 
Is Patrick, the fluffy dog beanbag 
Shylo, the go-happy Malti-poo on her lap 
She barks at the sighting of a Golden Retriever
Sipping my scotch from my crystal, I comfortably rest
My feet upon the ottoman and my buttocks in my dad's chair 
Shylo speaks at a passer-bye 
Excitingly, she jumps on my jewels...Ouch ! 
She spills the half full glass of fine scotch, clenched to my fingers 
With her moistened tongue she licks my nose
I rest no more
