Oaths sworn in slobber, not language.
Guardian of joy, even when joy forgets itself....

Jumble Jumblerhino and chimp in the knife and fork drawer
a baker baking bread on the ocean floor
jumble jumble
indoor shed
oh someone put the oak tree back to bed
daffodil and tulip in a coffee machine
big clown shoes on a beauty queen
jumble jumble
paper seat
oh someone poured the gravy on their auntie’s feet
gingerbread biscuit men launched into space
next door’s house...

Dear Sweet Lucy Loo"So friendly, and so true. That was our Lucy Loo" By poet
Dear sweet Lucy Loo, how I’m missing you.
It’s tragic that we had to let you go,
but it was something that we had to do.
Someone else will love you, and this I know
because you have such sweet and loving ways.
When I first saw you, I...

Can We Have a PuppyMommy, can we have a puppy?
We can name her Haley...
No! I hate the way they smell...
But Mommy, we can wash him daily.
I also hate it when they yell.
But Mommy, we can play with her,
and show her exciting tricks.
No! What about when she gets sick?
We'll take her to the vet,
and we'll sit with her all night.
Don't...

A Hiss and a Bark in the Dark
A dog, with a wag and a bark,
Tried to play with a cat in the dark.
The cat, with a hiss,
Said, "You're missing the bliss,
Of a nap, you uncouth, furry spark!"

Charlies ScheduleDiane’s dog Charlie is her baby; more than her son ever was.
He likes me better than Stewart did too, she tells me.
Charlie’s therapy appointments are on Monday.
On Tuesdays he has his nails groomed or his teeth flossed.
Wednesdays are open for luncheon engagements with other pups.
He gives me a break on Thursdays, Diane tells us. It’s...

Daisy Forever In Our HeartsDaisy
My memories of you.
The loving licks on our face,
were cherished moments we
embraced.
A friend in you, I could
always trust, just you
and I, the two of us.
I remember our walks
in the park, and the
birds you chased,
Oh, how you barked!
The baths I gave you
to keep you clean, but
you loved dirty puddles
more it would seem.
What you would...

What we found along the way
it was an early april morning
the lure of nature called to me
the sun was out
the air was fresh
the road just beckoned me
faithful dog by my side
i grabbed my coat
and headed out the door
soon we were on our way
to claim a most idyllic adventure
serenity it seemed would tag along
and join us for not more than a...

Hello can you hear me I’m human they just say I’m a dog
Hurting in many ways that they say a dog withstands
Hands and knees praying all they see is paws
Food and water or I’ll die no they say kibbles and bits
Strands of me peek but to them I’m wearing...

the king is hereMy dog is on his back
His legs high in the air
His body is stretched out like a ruler
His contentment amuses me
Nine months ago, he had never had a home
Now he is the king of ours...
