Please Adopt Me

he looked at me 
with those sorrowful 
puppy dog eyes 

I had no other choice 
then to take him home 

after all he was wearing 
my best shoe 

what was I to do ?

Find the other shoe :) Loved this poem. When such a relationship gets focused you cannot severe it. Hugs.

A good pet will enrich one's life more than he could possibly ever imagine. Nicely written, Rose. There are two things that I think everyone should do before they die, Raise a pet and learn to play a musical instrument both will give you a great sense of accomplishment and boost one's self confidence.

Yes I had a dog Genie and she was my best friend for 15 years. I also took accordion lessons for 5 years when I was young, and I really enjoyed it. Thanks for stopping by :)

I thought this was an enjoyable write-up. I really don't have anything to do so I can just take him home, the picture is awesome, though.
