Puppies

Puppies nearly always pee on the plush carpet prior to housebreaking positively normal; perfectly natural. Poor little fellows can't persist in this practice! FOURTH PLACE WINNER Written April 7, 2021 for "Pleiades Poetry Contest - P" sponsored by Kim Merryman

haha, this one was really fun to read. I think for the title I'd use pee or puppy!! Whatever way, it spells trouble with those puppies!!

I didn't think Pee would get by the censors as a title. Puppy probably would have been a better title, but it was plural throughout the poem. Puppies? yeah, that would have been better! Thanks for the suggestion.

We named our dog Peabody because when we got him, he peed everywhere - this is so fun, good luck in the contest~
