Darlene De Beaulieu Poet Narrative

Two Cats and a Golden Retriever Puppy

My goddaughter searched
A sight on line found
Puppies from a farm
A short drive away

The puppies lined up
To see what to choose
Two females one male
A hard choice to make
She chose the male dog

My goddaughter has 
One female and male cat
When they met the dog
The female greeted
The male ran upstairs

He was so angry
He hid in the room 
His feelings hurt
The puppy was there
A puppy to to stay

Jim Slaughter September 18, 2022 at 1:19 PM I've often wondered about pet adoptions. Just who adopts whom? A very enjoyable read, Darlene. Darlene De Beaulieu September 19, 2022 at 11:41 AM Sparkles is a rescues cat. She is 9 years old. And she is loved. Enjoy your day my friend. Darlene De Beaulieu September 19, 2022 at 11:40 AM Hello Jim, To answer your question: For me it was love at first sight. When I saw Sparkles for the first time, she was playing with a black cat. She was not aware I was there. It was hard to get her into a crate,but once she was inside she settled down. It took awhile for her to adjust. Now she is alright. Enjoy your day my friend.

Anne E Sangster - K August 24, 2022 at 5:24 AM Hi Darlene, The puppy was probably full of exuberant energy and maybe a bit too much for the male cat. He will no doubt get used to the puppy in time. I enjoyed reading your narrative this morning. Have a lovely day my friend :-) Darlene De Beaulieu August 24, 2022 at 2:32 PM Hello Anne E. Sangster -K., Hello so nice to see you here. I am thinking Anne that you are right about the dog being full of exuberant. Then male cat will have to adjust. Enjoy your evening my friend.

Gershon Wolf August 22, 2022 at 7:58 PM Animal antics, I say! :) gw Darlene De Beaulieu August 23, 2022 at 4:42 AM Hello Gershon, yes animal antic. The male cat will take awhile to adjust to the puppy. The puppy is there to stay. Enjoy your day my friend.

Evelyn Judy Buehler August 22, 2022 at 12:22 PM I enjoyed this interesting tale of your goddaughter's experiences adopting a pet, Darlene. It's fascinating how animals behave like people in many ways. But, I'll bet the cats and the puppy will soon be playing together like old friends. :) Darlene De Beaulieu August 22, 2022 at 3:01 PM Hello Evelyn, I sense that the female cat will be playing with the cat. the male will take awhile. Animals are like humans. The male cat needs more time to get used to the idea. of the dog is staying then adjust to the dog. Hugs.

Len Gasun August 21, 2022 at 9:30 PM Hello my dear friend Darlene. I love and enjoyed immensely this beautiful narrative poem of yours my dear friend. Reactions of pets are almost the same with people. Just wondering if female is by nature friendly than male? Probably the male will soon be friends with the puppy too. Thanks for sharing dear. God bless you always. Hugs Darlene De Beaulieu August 22, 2022 at 4:41 AM Hello Len, I am so glad that you enjoyed this poem. The female is friendly than the male. He takes a while to adjust to a new member of the family. Your welcome. God bless you always. Hugs.

Panagiota Romios August 19, 2022 at 5:36 PM It takes a while for cats to adjust. They are territorial animals, dogs are not that jealous of their space, Everything will work out! Will say a prayer!
