House Dog

Today felt more like Winter as I was out walking my dog Toby.

The tears welled up in my eyes but Toby was having fun.

He saw a cat and froze in his tracks gave a grunt and a growl.

He does not like other dogs either or strangers who walk by.

 

But he's a lovable dog and is my daughters one and only.

He follows her all over the place and is lost when she goes to work.

When dogs form an attachment, it is forever as I have found.

Don't know how I could get along without one in my house.

George - I was walking along side you as I read your poem. Unconditional love brings tears to my eyes. I'm so blessed to have my 2 furry friends, Bella and Gunner. Their bond is eternal.

God Bless You,
Deborah

So visual, George, and I like the detail of the tears - but are they from the cold or from another sort of tender remembrance? I like the mystery here. I echo your sentiments entirely but am being very disciplined about not having another Willow for now. But still, I feel very much an oddity, walking twice a day but on my own, as I now do. Sweet narrative and contemplation. Hope you stay well and warm until spring returns! :)) xx

All creatures who receive love
will show love and devotion,
most of all the dog and cat
genus... I have always said,
trust no person who doesn't own
one or the other or both for they
do not know love and compassion...
(unless of course they can't afford one)

Love and Light

They are so adorable and of course you feel so lonely and sad when they are not around..and losing them is very saddening...I had one and she (cherry)died of age :( we all missed her so very much and till now I've'nt dared keeping any, my kids too feel sad...they were v.small when she died.......they finally leave us :(
Happy new year and best wishes, neerja

My feelings entirely...Love mine to bits! A lovely, natural piece which made me re-affirm my feelings for our own dog Quinn...The 'attachment forever' is so unconditional and comforting... (Incidentally Quinn's best dog-friend is a beautiful Labrador called Toby!)
A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR George...
Best wishes, Diana...
