Heartbreaking 💔 #Poem

Strange, it’s literally aching This heart that’s breaking The pressure on my chest Barely lets me catch a breath This thick lump in my throat Won’t go, as eyes overflow It feels worse than death Not knowing what to expect I haven’t given you up yet There’s still a few more tests As I wallow

Golden Trouble 🐾🐾 #Haiku

My bucking bronco Is three-quarters spoiled trouble A.K.A. Poodle She’s one-fourth Golden Retriever who hunts socks and shoes For a game of chase Here’s a short clip… https://instagram.com/p/BlOqfsIFD-Y/

Life’s a Ride ~ #Haiku

Roll the windows down Live your best possible life Enjoy everything    

Scrub-jay ruckus

Blue-jays arrived in the West To build a nearby nest  Using their natural defense  They take turns on their descent  Tormenting my pet From the safety of the fence  It’s  quite an event To witness 

Companions ~ #Poem

A daily routine Begins with breakfast cookies, Cuddles and coffee Once awake a game of chase, Fetch, catch, tug-of-war and more

Priorities – #Tanka

Another day rolls In to pick up where we stopped Sorting thru life’s rocks Moving pebbles and boulders To find the meaningful gems

Ruffin’ it

If only we could be happy as dogs chewing on hair ties, and everything else it decides to try Under this great, big blue sky without asking what or why learning, always learning wrong from right Merrily going through life with your humans at your side knowing it’d be all right as you lounged tonight

Commodities

You’re expected to hold a degree In this dog-eat-dog world To be a functioning part of society Tell me what does it really mean When students display their dubiety Perhaps, they aught to pursue a PhD Education never mattered much to me I just wanted the rewards and treats That came with living the dream

Fluffy butt 🐾🐾 ~ #Tanka #Doodle

Inquisitively Always getting in to stuff Acting like a pup Slowly earning masters trust Tolerating, fluffy butt

Doodle Model 🐩🐕 ~ #Haiku

I’ve taken hundreds Of pictures of my new pup In less than two months

Pups in the kitchen ~ #Tanka

She is very sweet When we’re at the kitchen sink Curled up at my feet Making it hard to retreat That’s why my training is weak  

Wind advisory ⚠️ #Tanka

Violent winds thrash Autumn colors stripped, barren Leaves scurried away Playful pups give chase and taste With confused look on their face

It’s a girl…

Two years ago, last month My heart was punctured & crushed I still miss HER  so much Yet I’m ready for another pup I’ve waited long enough My heart’s already filling up Only she’s barely 3 weeks old And needs more time to grow Before I can bring her home She sent this selfie for

My Shepherd

Watches over me From her field of dreams Now running wild and free A year ago today I watched my Tara slip away It still feels like it was yesterday She laid down to sleep Leaving only memories to keep That fill me with pride and peace My Shepherd Watches over me From her field

Wallpaper

I see you everyday Though it’s been 8 months Since you went away My memories will stay You were always my pup Even when old and grey

Sleeping Wags

23 of 31 OctPoWriMo In her sleep she wags Her tail, and I like to think It’s because of me She dreams of morning treats, and Walks, parks, bones, toys and well, me   ~Tanka This is my ninety pound, 8 year old puppy.

Open Grave

10 of 31 OctPoWriMo The numbers increase every day Discarded like waste in an open grave Ignorant breeders refuse to believe Immature pet owners who are naïve To their part in overpopulation Taking place in an influential nation More than half of those who go into A shelter are killed, so don’t be fooled
