poem- love sick June 16, 2014

The dog has been slurping in the toilet

He saunters down the hall,

water dripping from his muzzle,

stops beside me, gazing adoringly,

and kisses my arm with long wet strokes.

As he flops to clean his privates,

I go off in search of soap.

    Nature at its most normal. Humorous but truthful post. First laugh of the day for me. Peace.

    This was perfect…and illustrates absolute love both for and from our dogs, soap notwithstanding.

    How true. We love them enough to accept their love and look for soap. Blessings to you, Shawn…

    luckily my boys are too small to drink from the toilet… even so I know where that tongue has been. 🙂
