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? Prev. Pub. on MEDUSA'S KITCHEN

this is SO cute. I prefer my 2 cats to my one dog but they annoy me by not being with me as much as I would like. I really love the creativity of this.

Thank you, Andrea. I have many Barkley poems which I will be posting. My beloved dog died last October and I suffered severe grief. I'm back on track now at Poetry Soup. Carol Louise
