Once, I was passing by
an old post office about to die
and saw a dog who was shy
the dog made a very appealing cry,
from his little black glowing eyes
It was such a strange feeling...
was happy to have a friend like him
but sad for the person who left him
......
She joined our family sixteen years ago...
When she was just a pup...
We could barely await her arrival...
With the excitement all built up...
She gave us years of pleasure...
Unconditional love to all...
She gave us lots of hugs and kisses...
Would always come whenever we call...

Purple mountain
majesties...
A farm dog’s life
is full of highs...
When the butterfly
lands squarely on his nose...
From a cloud up above
the clear blue skies...
Nature is

The Arrival of the Sea Lions
by Michael R. Burch
The sound
of hounds
resounds in the sound.

My name is Daniel…
I’m a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel…
My friend’s name is Ray…
He wants to hump me all day…
Ray’s a frisky young pup…
Seems constantly boned up…
While we are indeed good friends…
I’m not sure what he intends…

The darkness has flooded the house
Until the bolt of lightening appears
I fear the sound of thunder
And try to curl up to you
But you aren't there
You left before spring
And it's almost summer
My forgetfulness attempts to block
The memories of you leaving
As I know you will never return
......
I remember the happiness
You brought
With the summertime warmth
Going up that street
Then walk faster home
I remember those rainy days
Where we would lie on the bed
Eating popcorn and watching
True Crime shows that I loved
Then, I would wake you up for hug
......
I'll check the weather
But I believe I heard it's going to rain today
I will use and excuse not to go outside
It's too painful without you
The hole in my heart is getting wider
As the blisters on my feet hurt even more
I miss you dearly
I knew the decision I made
Would break my heart
However, I couldn't let you suffer

Dogs have joy correct -
They find it in the mundane.
A walk as good as vacation.

Dog Daze
by Michael R. Burch
Sweet Oz is a soulful snuggler;
he really is one of the best.
Sometimes in bed
he snuggles my head,
though mostly he plops on my chest.
