Marking Property

I watched a couple of dogs on their respective side of a fence as each tried to claim his own property.

 

 
Two male dogs met at a fence
in their respective back yards.
They each had their job to do
as their family guards.
 
The first dog made his statement
by lifting high his right back paw
and marking the property
which the other dog clearly saw.
 
Up went the leg of the other
to make a similar claim.
So the first dog repeated
by doing the very same.
 
Neither dog would give an inch
as they made that spot real wet.
They couldn’t let the other win
and become the better pet.
 
After the hour long contest
they were as dry as could be.
Dehydration made them sick
since they could no longer pee.
 
Now when they see each other
and their eyeballs start to roll
they run to get a great big drink
from their little water bowl.

Oh, Larry, you make me laugh. While this may be two dogs, it is too reminiscent of life in the human world.

God bless you. Kathy
