My Neighbour and His Dog

My next door neighbour
Is out walking his dog
He carries baked goods
His wife had baked early
He cones to my door 
Then rings my doorbell

With his dog by his side
When the door opens 
The dog rushes inside 
Right into the kitchen
Then rushes back to the 
front door
I greet her pet her and speak

I know that she wants a treat
She eats the treat quickly
She sits and waits for more
Then comes to me to be petted
I pet her while speaking
Then they leave for home

Sometimes dogs can sense the dog lovers dear friend Darlene. I guess you're a dog lover like me, although the dog belongs to your neighbor. A splendid poem you've written here and I'm delighted to read it this afternoon. Thank you so much for sharing.

Sounds like a fun routine. Dogs sure do add an extra dimension of joy to our lives. I've got two cats; they can be fun also, but a little different behavior. A bit more independent, yet lovable. Joe.

Mamma and son -- they fight like cat and dog (if that makes sense), always slapping at one another. I think they would go crazy if they did not have the other to torment:) The Mamma is a Tortoise (sort of resembles a Calico); and Lover, the boy, is a Ginger -- quite the pair. Both affectionate. Great Watch Cats. When I come home, and they are in the widow waiting, and not hiding, I know all is well:) Joe.
