My dog and I took a ride
A beautiful, bright, sunny day
Bold blue sky was decorated with white clouds,
floating above the green farm land
The temperature was perfect
We were free as the wind upon our faces
I visited a sweet candy shop with penny candy
We walked by yellow and purple flowers
The two of us made the best of it
Peace, quiet and calming solitude
Both of us happy, riding along
A ride to keep in memory now
No stress, not a worry, just smiles
My companion, so smart, so happy,
filled with endless unconditional love
A ride through life and nothing else mattered

A friend
At hand
Pippa rushes through the lawn
It’s a happy game to play
But too far her ball you’ve thrown
And it rolled away
Down to the apple tree
To rose bushes over there
For a moment you can’t see
Pippa’s tail, and you take care
“Pippa!” – ah, she’s got that ball
And runs back to you
Still I hear your worried call
Sometimes it comes through
My dog by my side

Einstein my dog, is very special
Always at my side, overflowing with love
Sharing with people who he meets
He gets happy when I laugh, sing, dance
His happiness is in a constant flow
He makes every day special and loves to play
He is so smart, a graduate of classes
He knows words, listens to phone calls
He will watch the TV, he is so attentive
He is protective of his pet siblings
Life is special to him, it always shows
Every day, he is thrilled to experience it
He lives in the moment, the quality of time
He teaches humans how to do this also
He brings smiles to everyone around
- I couldn't ask for more -

Roasted pig ear treats
the favorite of Cosmo to eat
He chews and chews diligently
savoring the taste thoroughly
But Sassy hers she ignores
pig ears for her a bore
Cosmo finished and he spies
Sassy pig ear by her side
He nudges closer a slow crawl
his nose sniffs what his eyes saw
Sassy knows what Cosmo up to
so the pig ear she begins to chew
Cosmos dismayed and whines
whimpers loud for pig ear to dine
Sassy growls and grips it tight
teasing Cosmo enjoying his plight
He stares and stares and stares
Sassy chews it as if a dare
Suddenly Sassy lets it go
Cosmo steals it by a nose
Sassy seems to not care
Cosmo chews her pig ear
Cozzymo happy boy
two pig ears tummy joy
He licks his lips and looks at me
begging for pig ear number three.
the dog looked hopeful, and wanted the nod
His owner gave it gladly to his sidekick Todd
Todd ran off in the rain, jumping high with glee
Throwing loads of water up on his knee
Happy they were, two kindred folks, in sync you see
brought my dogs out to enjoy the shade
in muddy water one of them doth wade
the other one begs me to go back in
until the neighborhood dog’s barking begins
both are more than happy to bark back
you can hear these harsh barks in Hackensack
now daddy is out and they are squealing with delight
they want out of the pen, but I hold on to them tight
doggy dance with a waggy tail
he eats his dog chow without fail
stomp stomp stomp he has happy paws
prancing and dancing with hoorahs
doggy jump and doggy spin
wiggly jiggly dance again
doggy leap and doggy crawl
he's dragging his bottom down the hall
My dog is smarter than most humans today
He always stops on walks to smell the flowers
He appreciates freedom, running, fun and play
He smells beneath snow and ice during showers
He was smart as a puppy and trained in class
He also knows many words he hears, quite a brain!
He sees people far away so he doesnt need glasses
So protection and safety from his alerts, I gain
He gets excited when I laugh or if I dance
Loving life from the morning to night
Sometimes on his walks he will prance
Like a horse in the field during daylight
He is full of love, overflowing to see
He makes other people smile a lot
I am grateful for such a blessing to me
For all he has already done and brought

*Dedication to my dog Einstein
Our five year old hound dog mix.
the sweet Southern name of Beau,
jet black, sleek,
white chest and throat,
is living with his brother, Arrow,
and a new family for Beau.
I’ll miss his daffy antics,
and chasing indignant squirrels
in the spacious yard,
but we just couldn’t keep him,
he is still a dog of our hearts,
he’ll always be my granddog,
with his jovial amber eyes
and friendly licks on the side
of my head.
He’d sit at attention when he
wanted a treat,
he and Gus, our terrier mix,
had comical zoomies bounding
on the grass.
But now he’s on a new adventurous
life journey,
getting into mischief with Arrow,
we won’t forget you,
big boisterous Beau,
happy doggie tales to you. ~
More joy than her little heart can take

my dog is chewing up my bushes
cleaning his teeth
dragging healthy limbs off
I do not stop him
happy he is being entertained
even though my bush is being massacred
My buddy Harley never smiles
Hard to know what’s on his mind.
At times Harley’s not such an enigma.
Come dinner time he’ll surely remind you.
When he’s earned treats he’ll nudge you.
Time for his business? He’ll jingle chimes.
Harley hates winter and lets you know:
His walks are cut short, quick in-and-out.
Harley’s not much of a guard dog,
He’s much too friendly, laid-back and easygoing.
He’s quiet and barely vocal,
Might not bark to save his life.
Harley’s always so excited to see me
He’s got this dance that he performs.
Harley’s the most genuine and wonderful companion
There’ll never be anyone more delightfully affectionate.
