Proud Dog Parent
Because I think of Barkley as my
four-year-old son, and I've gotten him
vaccinated to prove it, do I now
put him in dog obedience school and
call it kindergarten? I think YES.
I need to show him off. I hope
the instructor takes class photos and
that I can purchase twelve wallet-sized.
Come picture day he'll wear his blue
bow tie, and people will think he won
a blue ribbon for a poetry contest--
not for WRITING a poem, of course not,
he's a dog--but for memorization.
Who's to say he hasn't memorized
one of my poems?
