Wants to Ride Like a Big Dog

When are they going to get into the truck?
I'd like to go for a ride in the truck.

No Rest for the Precocious

I've got my eye on you.
I know the sound of the lid of the cookie jar.

I'm fast like the speed of light.

The New Yorker

Why is that dog on the cover and not me?

I could be a "cover dog".

Movie Time

After I get my blanket just right I'll need a big bowl of popcorn -

oh and make it the sweet and salty kind in the big red bag, 

that stuff is delicious!!!

Hold It

I'm not chewing it.

I'm just holding it.

I like to hold it.

Blending In

If you don't want to get shoo'ed off the couch

stay very still and blend in.

Sunday Dog Psalm

Today I found a tiny, lovely, baby bird.
Departed.
I rolled on it to honor it.
I am not frightened by death. I am curious.
I do not look away, dismiss, or avert my sensibilities. I hone in.
I investigate
gutters, leaves,
the under carriage of shrubs, grubs,
garbage and trash
to find the source of the scent.
The scent that informs me of life - its tenacity and fragility.
Whoever or whatever you were, I want to know your "ness".
Do not fear. Death is but one more leg of the journey of existence.

Your destiny is the beauty of the universe.
