MY REAL LIVE LOVE RUG

I have a real live love rug; it lies right in front of the fire
It is a very nice snowy white, and it is full of love desire

It’s so irresistible; the type that likes, to catch...Read More

Sing to the heavens
Lower yourself till your feet hit the earth 
Gaze through crystal 
Limber up
Double rinse
Jump two feet 
Take it all in 
Rebel
Cosign a loan 
Be a hot dog
Or a golden retriever
Frown all you want
Tie some string 
Toll me

We use to walk together…in the mountains…by the sea
before the sun would rise each day…my golden retriever…and me

We chose to name him Whitman…people assumed we loved poetry
and though we do love a good rhyme…he was named after a bakery.

He was...Read More

My golden retriever romps through the patio door
Shakes his behind
Cotton-balled as a woolly sheep in need of shear
From the rogue snowstorm on Veteran’s Day
Wind straightened American flag
Red white and blue eyeliner applied to an old lady’s powdered face

And after the...Read More

My three sweet boys passed within one year, 
          a Golden Retriever, white fluffy bunny and a Pug.
When I think of each memory I still wipe a tear,

The average dog is a nicer person than the average person
No question about it especially our Golden Retriever version
We've got one of those
So I make her wear clothes
Of course Annie our Golden isn't wild about this diverion

We’ve been dog sitting for two weeks now…it’s been amazing I might add
but it has also stirred up memories of the dog that we once had.

He was a Golden Retriever, his name was Whitman 
He was as gentle as can...Read More

I have been through so much death these last few years. The worst was losing my “sweet boys” in a year and a half. My golden retriever Bo and pug Mugsy all crossed the rainbow bridge. Today on this list...Read More

Our golden retriever, is a golden conniver
Knows how to act all cuddly we've discovered
To get what she wants
Does her little dance
So appealing, really difficult to admonish her

We have a doggie door, but it is not only used by dogs.
It has been used by cats, a bunny, snakes, and frogs.
We are not surprised to see a golden retriever even when we do not have one.
Living in the...Read More

My door is decked with holly and pine,
The larder’s stocked with fancy food and wine.
Tiny lights twinkle on bannister and tree,
Dozens of cookies to bake, if there’s time free.

Knitting needles flash for each gift,
Presents need wrapping, but my spirits lift,
As...Read More

1.	My adorable Golden Retriever puppy
2.	Naps in between meals
3.	He says, “feed me those darn treats!”

7.	Way too brave for his britches!
8.	Couldn’t ask for a better dog

Sad Shiloh trots nervously across the frozen ground, 
Hesitantly, then decidedly, sidling up to a new lady.
At long last has he a loving mistress found?
Will she rescue him from this place, so penned in and shady?

This golden canine, with body...Read More

Fiona, fair beauty, fleet footed and fancy free,
Flits over the field,
Full of life and fun, a joy to see.
 
She’s my Bonnie canine, sweet and good,
Loving and loyal, a regal golden,
Her tail held high, 'til coursing the woods.
 
Wild is...Read More

The greatest doggie in the world is our “Annie”
An almost human golden retriever, it's really uncanny
Her vocabulary is wide
By our wishes, she abides
At times she's naughty but we put up with her hanky panky

My heart stopped beating with hers- 
for we were connected by blood and 
tears. 
If only Karen was here…
            once again.

Yes, I could pick anyone in the 
entire universe;...Read More

I'm inspired by the bright morning sunshine
By the song of the birds in the trees
I'm inspired by the smiles on everyone's face
The cool fresh morning breeze

I'm inspired by the neighbor's friendly hello
As the world goes by in a whirl
I'm inspired...Read More

Along with our golden retriever Annie

He may be just a bunny to some who don’t understand,
A small rodent like animal only living in a small cage.
But my Lucky Loo was part of our family from a young age, 
He only weighed 4 pounds, fit in...Read More

In my great room I relax 
Starring at my surroundings
The lighten curio shelters 
Trinkets of horses and dolphins 
Atop the curio 
A Brazilian lady of porcelain 
Sitting shirtless, her head rests in her palm 
Beside her on center wall 
Painted...Read More

Before the sunrise
Of Thanksgiving morning in Michigan

I test out loud
At the kitchen table
A few of my poems to my golden retriever
Who sits and listens with his head cocked
Confused at my knee…

"Did he say the word…walk…yet?" Panting.

Well, after that hidden rehearsal
And...Read More

The day Karen died you instantly became mine. A five-year-old golden retriever in need of a new mumma to call his own. So, I wrapped you in my arms and gave you the warmest bed as you gently kissed my...Read More
