If I Had a Doberman

If I had a Doberman
I’d never crop her ears
or dock her tail, 
although she’d probably 
loose her ovaries.
Just a silly hound
but she’d still
retain her teeth.

Joe got a dog recently with a cropped tail. I hardly even knew about that before. I like your short style of poems this day.

Thanks Andrea, yes I was surprised to discover how common it is wiht some breeds. Years ago Air Farce, a CBC comedy show had a segment called "Notions" for people without the energy to develop full "Ideas" which was a parody of CBC non-comedy show of that name. At times a short poem best suits my notions.
