Thoughts of a Border Collie While Pondering a Bone Mine, mine, mine, I think as I drip drool on the floor. Bloody meat clings tenaciously to the hard bone. White fat, like veins of gold, marbles the red treat. My owner is thawing this delicious delicacy on the counter. I watch and wait with longing as I think of the animal odor. Sharp canines will soon tear and...

I keep my dog’s talents all to myself An organizer, he puts things on a big shelf Files my taxes, sends them in too. Taking as a reward my husband’s left shoe. He sorts my cupboards, and my large pantry. How much more helpful can a collie be? Did I mention that he drives me to work and back daily. And sings...

Red It was a cool, Spring night. We lit the fireplace, a cozy sight. Red, my collie, a double for Lassie, Nuzzled up for a treat, his saucer shaped eyes, ah! So very warm and so classy. I went to the kitchen, glowing amber from the flames, Here came Red, his treat to claim. Ah~ a scene of peace if there  ever was one, For with Red,...

Running nowhere in an old street line He is there during my difficult times. Doesn't talk but I feel his one great love Our bond is...

In this field, a border collie runs at top speed back and forth. My soul knows the dog as my dog who died years before. My heart bounds, I alight...
