everything goes into a puppys mouthhe’s a puppy, everything goes into his mouth
piece of paper, spiral notebook, birthday card, screwdriver,
glass lightbulb, copper spring, nail gun, jewelry,
When we hear his teeth clicking we try to see what he has
He runs from us
Fishing it out is not an option
He has super large teeth
We have to trade him something...

spent a lazy dayI spent today doing nothing
fell asleep on the couch
both dogs were lying on the floor
laid out flat on their backs, legs in the air
we would still be there happily snoring if a delivery had not happened
and if I had not needed to go to the bathroom...

dog chewIn a dandelion clump sits a dirty dog
his muddy paws could rival that of a hog
what he chews will remain forever a mystery
for he swallowed it before I got a chance to see...

An Enchanted PlaceIn Manipur's lush forests so bright,
Khamba and Nongban ventured with delight,
Seeking blooms to adorn with care,
An altar to Lord Thangjing, their hearts were sworn to share.
Through dense woods, Khamba's path did wind,
Wildflowers' scent and earth's damp design,
Birds sang sweet, leaves rustled free,
A waterfall's roar, a sight to see.
A towering tree, with orchids so fine,
Hanging...

Shaggy Dog Story
Friends, humans, country bumpkins,
bend me your ears;
'tis too true a tale
I tell thee here...
Once upon a time,
knew a girl who owned a mutt
but she did exclaim,
'It's the cutest pup you ever did see,'
all the same, it seems to be
asinine to give a dog a bad name
but it's not the worst
her canine could receive,
it wasn't cursed
when...

sitting with my sweet puppysweet puppy is lying next to me in my recliner
we are sharing a pillow
I use it to hold my I-pad
he plunked his head on a large corner of it
He is like a baby furnace
I stroke his soft hair as he sleeps
Both of us content in front of a droning TV showing nothing important...

My Two Dogsmy dog walks with purpose
regally like a monarch
he stares with yellow wolf eyes
a majestic marvel
his brother is a puppy
running and jumping from here to there
he leaps on King’s back
he is wild without limits or limitations...

Ivan Petrovich Pavlov - 1849-1936
Of eleven children he was the first
and from an early age
for research had a thirst
his love of dogs was no surprise
highly regarded
he received the Nobel Prize
altho' no longer around
of all those that ever were
I clearly like the sound
as with food it goes so well
and if nothing else
the name 'Pavlov' rings a bell

I Want A Funny
I took my new friend from Mars,
to the store not to the bars.
He was accompanied by his little green dog,
many thought he was a funny looking frog.
They messed their little green suits,
so no more fresh fruits.
A diaper they will need,
so they can go home and be freed....

Genghis Makes His MarkMy little guy to my happy surprise
is with me still and very spry
His heart pills keep him ticking on
personality of his still is strong
He loves to growl and bark all day
for him it is the way he plays
the thing he loves most of all
is when I scratch his chest he is enthrall
It relaxes him and...

man and his dogMan and his dog
He awoke under the bed, and it had been his birthday
drinking champagne, eating Danish pastry, and smoking Havana cigars
He walked into the kitchen, opened the fridge, and took out
a beer, which he thirstily drank while wondering why
Everything was so quiet
The maid had been in when he slept, and everything was in order
When...

my ears are keener than dog earssitting on my dogs’ porch, their own domain
enjoying the sun that is kissing my right arm
brand new chain link keeps us hostage, away from delivery men
large annoying bumblebee zips in to say hello
she sounds like a buzz saw
no indication that either of my dogs heard the bee
I usually say I have dog ears since I...

VanishedElla Cuthbert lived with her husband John, in an age of twinkling stars;
They had a little dog named Alfie, who loved riding in pretty, swift cars.
Alfie was loved by those who knew him, as red flowers charm adorers;
And he was the darling of their street, like rainbows, crossing borders.
The Cuthberts had many interests, and on...

watching dog playI sit in the sun, the dogs are up here too
our young puppy digs a hole in the yard toward Timbuktu
now he’s on top of his brother, pushing the Great Dane down in the dirt
a gentle giant, his bro merely rolls away, nothing bothers Old Kurt...
