Notes About The Poem

This link to see Snickers ought to work now. FINALLY. His real picture kept disappearing. The image of the dog you see in the picture is NOT Snickers but rather the type of dog that people tell me he resembles. Please click on the link and see if you see a difference!!

Snickers With Link To His Picture

Barking at the people who
walk behind our house
is a dog that as a pup
was bought by my spouse.

Tiny border collie mix
he was meant to be,
but a Texas cow dog is
what most people see!

Chocolate-caramel, nutty too,
so it seems just right
he’s named for a candy bar;
just don’t take a bite!


Word Count shows 62 but different at another one. I count 60.

Nope, the real Snickers is not showing. I like the poem though :) My # 7box & others show up sometimes. I thought it was my cp. I always post the date I wrote my poems. Take My Hand was 2013. Remember I told you if I don't like it I most often don't post. I was just sitting here reading old poems, 1992 - 2011 looking 4 something to post. But then I started watching American Gods. I love that show. lov Debbie :) 7

Snickers has so far proved to be very elusive, Andrea!! Up till now the picture of the 'real' Snickers is not showing up. ~ Congrats on p.o.t.d. Regards // paul

Congratulations! Love this. I had a border-collie-pekinese mix for 15 years. He was long-haired, aggressive, and had to be sedated to groom! But we made it through until I had to give him up.

Hi Andrea, i really like this write. We don't have a dog here anymore but dogs just seem to like me for dome reason. They always stop by me when I'm out, just to say hello. Maybe they think I'm a big toy or something, that is what our sheeba used to think. Does it have to be called snickers, I'm feeling hungry now. Hope it does well in the contest. It is a definite seven and a fave Andrea. Hugs....Mike. XX
