Wildlife 33

A curly-haired golden retriever,
Was known as a bit of a diva,
One day, out of habit,
She caught a fat rabbit,
But none of her friends would believe her!

Backyard of Bernie- the Golden Retriever

brown-headed nuthatch sounding off in desert tree… Bernie’s swishing tail as he runs then peters out… free bird in leafless mirth squeeks 2/8/2022

I need the delight she will bring

Just My Retriever And Me

Dropped the receiver, when Jill tried to phone
my old retriever, won’t pick up his bone
no more beer or cigarettes
I’m still here, with my regrets
she’s in Geneva, with that guy, Jerome.

showing me his trust

sleepy English Cream retriever puppy
asleep in my double recliner, next to me
inverted over the side, head lollygagging toward floor
legs in air, touching me, belly exposed
showing me his trust

Our Golden Conniver

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

fiddle faddle Beau

My new retriever Beau is intimidated by his reflection
Having a considerable fit in an unforeseen direction
Barking in earnest at the interloper, ready to do battle.
I merely throw up my hands and say “fiddle faddle!”

Our Annie

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

New Friend

Met a beautiful Golden Retriever
on its walk around
crown hill park.

Such a sweet precious dog,
her master said she
loves everyone,

so right he was,
such wet kisses
she gave away.

Mighty Heart of a Golden Retriever

Almost two weeks since I closed your weary eyes, some say dogs don’t go to Heaven, but I’m a believer- Deep in my heart I’d have to say that phrase never applies, when you’ve lost the mighty heart of a Golden Retriever. October 28, 2016

can we keep him

a golden retriever puppy would be perfect for a Christmas photo.
Let’s get one out of the pound and take some selfies.
The husband liked the idea in a way.
Can we keep him? He asked.
No.
Why not?
She said “because I said so.”
Thus, her husband kept the puppy
and got rid of the wife.

Totally Relaxing

my grandson Scott was almost too casual
sitting in the lake
his trusty golden retriever sat right next to him
caught any fish? I asked
I am not trying, he replied
Just relaxing
I got a lawn chair and joined him
not too proud to get my clothes wet
He was right; it was totally relaxing

Golden Retrievers

Have you ever seen a sad retriever?
Of their true love, we are the receivers,
How many need to change a light bulb? None,
To them, there is perpetual sun.
Tongues lolling, tails wagging,
Always smiling, never flagging,
Yes, we love our happy fur friend dudes,
With their positive mental attitudes!

Our Golden Retriever

Such a shame Genny our doggie pet Our family golden retriever's life span is so short They become loving members of the family In fact she never asks for anything more Than two meals a day which we strictly follow And a bathroom break when needed She is an absolute sweetie! True sweet love!

Spring Break I - Loyal Dog

A day before our getaway to Miami
We got out the blue suitcase
And as it sat in our bedroom
Getting ready for spring break
Our golden retriever
Ever vigilante
Would not leave its side
Day or night
To go outside eat or drink
No
He could not risk being left behind
Thought it was summer
Going to the lake.

Snow Angel

Snow Angel


headlong into clouds

babe dug tunnels in the snow

smiling from heaven



……a day like today….. sun reflecting off the icy snow, about 5-below-zero….my animal best 
friend (Golden Retriever)  “Babe Ruth”  thought he was in heaven on earth!....now he’s in 
heaven smiling…

My Adorable Golden Retriever Puppy

1.	My adorable Golden Retriever puppy
2.	Naps in between meals
3.	He says, “feed me those darn treats!”
4.	Captain of our home
5.	Shhh...gentle he's a baby...
6.	Tears caught by sloppy kisses
7.	Way too brave for his britches!
8.	Couldn’t ask for a better dog

Best Friends

Constantly drooling and begging for more
Existing to sleep and poop on my floor
Patrolling the yard protecting the king
A nap in the shade while birds start to sing
But short is the song like a broken receiver
Ready to pounce the Golden Retriever
Unconditional love best friends from the start
My dogs my children I give you my heart.

Beau is a retriever

my new puppy runs like a gazelle except faster
He is a retriever all right
He finds whiskey bottles, bottle caps, gum wrappers,
He has been bringing home pieces of a porch lately
Not our porch, an older porch, with paint that is more yellow
None of our neighbors have porches
More ditch diving? Perhaps
He retrieves everything he finds
and he finds a lot

why the guilt

I paid money for my golden retriever
but I still feel obligated to send photos to the owners
This is day eight and I forgot to send one yesterday.
I do not want them to think they sold their puppy
to an ingrate do I?
I start out the text with an apology.
My eyes have been swollen, and I have had hives.
Not a lie.
Still, I feel guilty.
What is wrong with me?
