INDOOR DOG

Folder: 
THE DRUNKENING

 

The dog wanted

to chase the squirrels

& go after

the stray calico cat

that hunts voles in the backyard.

 

A wild hare runs

along the wooden fence

and ducks into a hole.

Several birds retreat

into the bamboo jungle.

 

The dog can’t decide

which playmate to pursue

but I decide he’s an indoor dog

when I spy a skunk

peeking out from under the shed.

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I've been sprayed before and so have some of my previous dogs.  I spared the Dude a pretty unpleasant experience.

Dogs Are Social Animals

I can see them perceiving other creatures outside as friends. It is a dog's thing, running with the pack - any pack will do, apparently. Enjoyed this one. :D

The Dude (my dog's name is El Duderino) likes everyone.  He just wants to play with them.  Just some of them could easily get scared or hurt.  thanks for reading.
