Miss Wobble Paws
She used to be fast and bouncy, but after two strokes her head began to tilt over her rolling neck and podgy body. Yet, through bleary eyes, she saw off starlings and cats, toppling into them with her comic John Wayne walk. When called She would stagger sideways wet nose tracking the sound, then lurch forward, tongue lolling, a wide grin of recognition plastered over her fuzzy face, her brain. ...

Premium Member Claw-some Paws
In the verdant valley of claw-some tales lived a lady in a cottage of tails. Every morning, her cat Grey loves to sit, sip chamomile tea until paws permit, a scratch here and there to wake her spirit, so the sneaky rodents nearby fear it. But the cat knew...

At night he wakes and stretches wide, Then to the window, he glides; With tiptoe paws and eyes so bright, Meowlu steps out into the night. The moon shines down on...

Premium Member One out of five
He was 6 foot 3. I was 5 foot 5. My only thoughts at that moment were staying alive.. Caught in the tenacles of his grip, helpless as I witnessed my top rip.. My bra lifted up as mammoth paws perspired, my round breasts exposed, he paused and admired.. "You are beautiful" he said and then forcibly he pushed down my head.. My...

My dogs talk to me, Every day, I have to listen carefully to what they say. My dogs talk to me, Every afternoon, Tell me when to start to play. My dogs talk to me, Every evening and night, Tell me when it's time to sleep. ...

Premium Member Kitten Paws Pause
Kitten pauses over fishbowl because, it can't stand wetting its dry and clean paws. So the goldfish are safe, free from the jaws. And don't they know it, as they flap applause, When they nonchalantly swim with no cause For fear of cat, which obeys nature's laws....

That Ghost-Eyed Dog
Do you remember that ghost-eyed dog on the beach who always came so close to hunt us with her love? She became one with the waves now, washing away our hues and shades, blessing the wet sand with her running paws. She is so far away now, her piercing blue eyes seeking for the unknown pursuing the echo of...
