My Dog Days of Summer

“Dogs are not our whole life,
But they make our lives whole.”

Roger Caras

Music: ‘Who Let The Dogs Out’

Several people have recently asked me
Why I have not been posting on A.D.
It’s been a very busy summer this year
Filled with lots of dog-related activities

I’ve hosted several ‘Canine Pool Parties’
All of my dogs love taking dips in the pool
And with the hot, humid weather we’ve had
I’ve found it’s the best way to keep them cool

I have also been attending some fund raising events
To raise needed money, for pet rescue organizations
And very soon, Valentino and I will attend ‘The Mutt Strut’
A yearly event which fills all of the participants with elation

I also very recently took an emotion-filled journey, back in time
To the Gulf Coast, for Hurricane Katrina’s 10-Year Anniversary
It’s hard to believe a decade has now passed since this tragedy
Which changed my life forever, and prompted more rescue activity

And tomorrow begins ‘Adopt A Dog Month’ as it does every year
Far too many truly deserving dogs are now homeless in our country
If you want to save a canine’s life, and meet your next best friend
Head down to your local animal shelter, and set a furry inmate free

Yes, you certainly have been busy and rightly so. It's a wonder you have time for your dogs to let them have a swimming your kiddy pool for them.

My brother's golden retriever, Rocky, is very lucky because all he has to do to swim is to run down about 30 feet in the backyard, dive in, and chase those pesky swans or Canada geese out of his lagoon. He especially likes going out to "the island," where he can have a swim with the other dogs that their owners bring there.

Last week my brother spent the week in Myrtle Beach golfing. Rocky had to be boarded or he would have been bored watching golf. Anyway, the people who boarded him told my brother that he had to have two shampoo baths because he was so stinky. I guess river water will do that to you. ;-)

Odin, the black Lab in this photo is Tater, one of my Katrina Boys - and he would live in his backyard pool if he could.

Looks like your busy schedule is the reason I've not rec'd any alerts to your poetry posting in the last month. Good to see you're still out there doing what you do so well. BTW, the black lab in the pic looks so much like my own "Luke" that passed on several years ago, that I had a sudden uptake of breath. Miss the guy.
