The Perils of Being Our Age

Dog demands attention and food. Loves to be petted. Rolls around on the floor like a pig in slop. Legs in the air. My husband claps. I clap. Her one trick. She is the only baby who still lives with us. The perils of being in our sixties.

Caren, I love this poem's one trick pony pup. I love it when my dog revels in the day that way. -Richard

My dachshund, Bonzo, does the same as your dog, yet he's no peril to my age. Thanks for reading my work. Always appreciated. / M
