  • Sorry, not sorry

    I like my gamesto be the same.I always returnthe way I came. This frees my mindto contemplatephilosophiesin aggregate. Annoyance whenthings deviatecan turn my actionsreprobate. I do not meanto be the bearerof bad dogness;it’s just my terror coming outwhen things surprise —so in advance:I apologize. -Chocolate Continue reading

  • My morning routine

    A stretch and a shakeis a move that I makefirst thing in the morningas soon as I wake. Then out for a runand some other quick fun,a drink and some breakfast —my day’s well begun. -Chocolate Continue reading

  • Some of my favorite things

    Scratching of earsis a very good practiceby humans who learn it —and also the fact isthat me and my dog palslove things that are smelly,and crunchies, and playtime, andrubs on our bellies.And another good thingthat we all think is funnyIs chasing a fluff-headedtrespassing bunny. -Chocolate Continue reading

  • Reading

    Keep this strictly secretbut my latest trick is reading. The human stuff is what I mean;its boringness? Exceeding! They go on and on (and on)their logic is precarious, It’s sad they waste their time that waybut also it’s hilarious. Their opinion of themselves is high;they find themselves astute. So I’m not going to tell themthat… Continue reading

    If you notice When I’m chewin’,  Dental health isWhat I’m doin’. Every day I have a chew;That’s why my teeth all look brand new. My family tells me now and thenI’ve chewed what’s theirs, and don’t again. I only listen when I please;I’m watching out for cavities! -Chocolate Continue reading

    Long ago, as a little pupthe humans I knew were jerks.Since then I’ve gotten better ones;our relationship? It works. If you’re a tailed readerwith bad humans, do not worry.There are better ones aroundand you can change your story.  Other dogs have come to me.To them I have explained:Don’t settle for any old humans;Find the ones… Continue reading

  • Thumbs

    I lounge on my grass;I relax and I grinuntil Hayley (my sister)says “time to go in.” When Hayley calls humanssoon one of them comes,and opens the doorwith those useful things — thumbs! Those thumbs are a clever idea;can’t be beatfor scratching our earsand feeding us treats.  At breakfast and dinnerHuman thumbs grant our wishesby helping… Continue reading

  • Oblivious

    Humans simply talk to much.That is my contention.I think that’s why it’s hard for themto offer close attention. I try to give them infothat I’ve sniffed or that I’ve heardBut they’re just on to something elseWhile spouting stupid words.  If we lived in the wilderness(there’s something called a “bear”),They’d have to learn to listen up.I’d… Continue reading

  • Protection

    My sister Hayley won’t abidesidewalk users — either side.From the window seat she likes,She shouts at scooters, walkers, bikes. I don’t care as much as her;But interlopers what gots fur(like squirrels and those rabbit blokes?)They get my goat; I chase those folks.  We protect our placeso wellOur human friends can never tell  How close they cometo… Continue reading
