Only the human dead may lie
In God's good acre wide and fair;
Those of an humbler kind who die
May not have shelter there: -
Not Dan, who spent his lifetime in
Such deep devotion, such warm trust
Toward man, - 'twould seem there might have been
Some corner for Dan's dust;
Not Chum, a little blind boy's guide,
Not Mike, who raced on eager feet

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...

My name is Boudreaux and I’m a Mardi Gras Chihuahua...
I live in Uptown New Orleans and I have friends all over the world...
They think that I am lucky to live in New Orleans...
Because the king cake is tasty and the Mardi Gras season seems to last forever...
My friends come to visit at the same time every year...
We like to wear costumes and dress up real crazy...
We look so cute and have our pictures taken by people...
We play so hard all day then at night we get very sleepy...

The sound

So they bought you
And kept you in a
Very good home
Cental heating
TV
A deep freeze
A very good home-
No one to take you
For that lovely long run-
But otherwise

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

I watch

wonder -

My dog slops water
with urgent abandon
like a prize pig from teeming troughs
The prosody of his play is
Loose and wild —
He seizes the dog park by the neck
A rabbit darts across our path
And murder fills his heart,

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
