Dogs Live For The Moment

Dogs live for the moment
Taking one day at time
They are not a poet
Remembering pastime
Or future yet to come
They are glad only for a crumb
And where belly rubs come from.

Wait A Sec Dog Haiku Sonnet

I look at owner
Take me outside right now please
You say wait a sec

For I was outside
One hour ago for a walk
I want to go now

I go to bedroom
Grab stuff orange that’s on floor
I run back to you

Get your attention
I throw it in air; chomp it
I hope it works

You get leash; I go to door
Outside we go to explore

The Other Day

Other day, I saw your picture
Your smile radiated proudly
Of memories from photo shoots
You took part and I captured.

I long to tell you in person
What has happened so far
Since you have been gone
As you would listen quietly
When I would talk to you.

Maybe I’ll talk to your picture
The one I saw the other day.

How A Dog Gets Attention

I nose owner in the leg

I find nearest object to put teeth on

I paw owner’s pant leg

I place paws on owner’s knee

I run around; zooming fast

I find squeaky toy; one which squeaks loud

I nudge food dish closer to owner

I speak my complaints in yodeling barks

And if those not work;

I put snout where it doesn’t belong:

Trash or food bags left out in easy reach

Dog And I And Snow

Dog
Bounds through
Deep white snow

I
Trudge behind
Sinking in snow

As Days Get Shorter

Mornings cool wind blows
While darkness grows
As days get shorter
Fall is around corner
Kids go back to school
As August will come to a close

First Time At Beach

I stand at water edge
Sand, shell fragments under paws
Water comes close
I’m curious, going forward
Cool water under paws
New experience this is for me
I look at other dogs
They are having fun
Playing, swiming at the beach
Maybe I might join in
When I’m finally ready too
