My Terrier

I sat at my desk, watching my terrier paw pillows on my bed in order to make a nest. I said to my terrier, "If I had the money, I would build a fine tunnel from the bedroom to your own dog-den, a safe area of rest. There, you could sometimes go and live dog life at dog's life best." I beamed at her with my suggested benevolence. My terrier then collapsed into my pillows- Unimpressed.

A cute/fun write. Tell your doggie "Thank You" for the write. They have a mind of their own. Have a Blessed Easter..............

Thanks so much, Paula! I had a Blessed Easter and I hope you did as well. My Terrier is a blessing as well.

For the love of animals, what we do and would like to do. I enjoyed your poem about your Terrier friend, Scott. I do believe they can read us. Have a great weekend, Bill

This doggie porm is so clever, Scott. I really like it. In fact, with my little Min Pin I can relate. Well rhymed poem you have here.

Thank you so much, Carol. I am honored by your comment. I feel bad accepting accolades because My Terrier really wrote this poem!

It seems your terrier had a different plan. "Unimpressed" indeed, with your idea. This cute, clever and so creative. Your thoughts bring a smile. :) Brandy

Thanks so much, Brandy. I appreciate it. By the way, thanks also for your comment on my Haiku some time back. I neglected to reply, a rookie mistake! I am becoming much more comfortable "in the soup."
