Some Dogs

Some dogs wait to choose their spot; They circle and they sniff. Others simply stop and squat, Like saying, “What’s the diff? My master picks up dusk or dawn No matter where my pile is, So I can go on path or lawn, ‘Cause that’s just what my style is.” The fussy ones, though, have their pride And, using all their senses, They find the perfect place outside, Despite the consequences. I wonder how each pooch decides Just where he feels like pooping, But gratitude can’t be denied To those who do the scooping!

There is no way of knowing what is going on in a dog's mind!.... A very humorous write, Ilene! Great rhyming in this, as well! Congrats on your win!

Just what goes on inside their minds, one can never know. But you have somehow figured out, it matters where they go. They say you shouldn't where you eat. But some dogs think that it's a treat. :( I'm sorry, the rhyme took me there. :)
