DOG HAIKU

I love my human;
Thus I perfume myself with
This long dead squirrel.
Today I sniffed
Many dog butts - I celebrate
By kissing your face

I lie belly up
In the sunshine, happier than
You ever will be

I sound the alarm!
Mailman Fiend - come to kill us all!
Bark! Bark! Bark! Bark!

I sound the alarm!
Neighbor's cat - come to kill us all!
Bark! Bark! Bark! Bark!

I lift my leg and
Whiz on each bush. Hello, Spot -
Sniff this and weep

My human is home!
I am so ecstatic I have
Made a puddle

I hate my choke chain -
Look, world, they strangle me! Ack
Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack

Sleeping here, my chin -
On your foot - no greater bliss - well,
Maybe chasing cats

I sound the alarm!
Dinner guests - come to kill us all -
Bark! Bark! Bark! Bark!

The cat is not all
Bad - she fills the litter box
With Tootsie Rolls

Dig under the fence - why?
Because it's there. Because it's
there. Because it's there.

I am your best friend,
Now, always, and especially
When you are eating.

Look in my eyes and
Deny it. No human could
Love you as much as I do.

awwww.....that's cute...I just got a puppy 2 months ago and he is the joy of my life. My other dog I had for 17 years before he passed on...dogs are one of my favorite things in the whole wide world. I just wish I could take mine to nude places with me... [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif[/img] (

I was just thinking of starting a pets thread because of MaxNik's signature and something Riverrat said on another thread.

This afternoon I took my cat outside and he started chasing the neighbor's two little tiny dogs. I tried to tell him he has it backwards but he didn't listen as usual.

When I was growing up in the country we always had dogs (everyone does). They were always the type that liked to run around in the yard and would go completely crazy if they were cooped up indoors. I don't think I will get another dog until I move to a house that can have a fenced in yard.

I've never been without a dog...matter of fact for most of the last ten years I've had three of them. Down to two now, Australian Shepherds.

Then add in the 6 birds, very old cat (16) with no teeth, the lop eared bunny, snapping turtle in the kitchen and fish out in a small pond made from a kiddie pool.

I do animal rescues and sometimes I end up adopting some that come through here.

Thank goodness I just rent! If I owned a home I'd have three times that many pets.

When my oldest was only six months old, the landlord's full-grown German Shepard made the mistake of sniffing Amy in sight of my Siamese cat. Copa sank her claws into that poor dogs nose, refused to back down and then chased that dog around the yard. The landlord disn't know wether to laugh or cry... that shepard had been train to be the guard dog for his auto body shop.

Hi, We lost our last (Black Lab) friend to cancer, two years ago and that hurt so much we have not found anyone to take her place. Our daughter and son-inlaw left thier cat several months ago, as they moved into an apartment that did not allow pets. My wife and I were never "cat people" but our buddy "Kissel" has made us his slaves, and that is the way It's sssupose ta-be. Happy Trails [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif[/img]
