my dog and me
tried to decide
what to do
with our day
we scratched and we yawned
and rolled on our backs
completely worn out
from the fray
we took a long nap
dreaming of glory
chasing our quarry away
opened our eyes
looked all around
content right where we lay
I’ve had a bunch of dogs in my lifetime. Scads of hound dogs, a sheep dog, a boxer, and a bunch of mutts and I’m not sure if dogs are naturally lazy or if they just don’t care much about the harried lives their human companions lead. I’m convinced they consider us quite dull since we don’t chase rabbits or squirrels. I certainly learned a lot from the canines in my life. I needed to because I performed some acts that even caused my dogs to shake their heads.
