Bird seed is tasty.
Mom yelled at me about it.
It is still tasty.

All about our pets, and the critters in the yard
Early Monday Morning
Awaken to my alarms’s dull roar.
Hear my spouse’s gentle snore.
Sense my dog heading for the door.
Leap from bed before she pees the floor.
It’s not the weekend any more.
Disappointment
I wandered into the kitchen.
Someone was defrosting chicken.
We’re having chicken tonight.
What a delight!
The next break from toiling,
I found the chicken boiling.
I almost cried.
I much prefer fried.
Chicken cooked in water.
It must be for my daughter.
She’s a bit bitchy
And she won’t take her pills.
Winter
The snow is fresh and beautiful.
The yard is covered from fence to stoop.
Everywhere is glistening white.
And then the spots of black dog poop.
Pet Parents
My funny little puppy
Jumps where he is able.
So, we all eat standing up,
Instead of at the table.
My sleepy little puppy
Unlocks his crate with his snout.
It’s impressive that he can get in,
We’re glad he can’t get out.
My skinny little puppy
Always sheds his hair.
He could be very, very large.
But he’s spread out everywhere.
My crazy little puppy
Always wants a snack.
She never can relax at all
We’ll feed her Doggie Prozac.
Dog Haiku
I need food. Much food.
I need to sleep until food.
I need food. Much food.
Dog Haiku
Mom calls me Dammit.
Dammit is my sister, too.
We annoy our Mom.
A LIttle Off The Top
Mommy cut my hair today.
Most of it just went away.
I mean, she trimed me lots and lots.
I’m glad I like my new bald spots.
I saw my brother filled with dread,
He forgot that he can shed.
He never gets a Mommy trim,
He’s never sliced from limb to limb.
You know, Dad’s looking a bit shaggy.
His sideburns are just a little scraggy.
I think he’s hiding from my Mom.
Next time, I think I’ll go along.
Rocky’s Bargain
Would you like some extra hair?
I have plenty.
I can share.
I would like a tasty snack.
Can I give you hair
And get food back?
It’s seems you have my hair.
You can keep it.
I don’t care.
So, food – a small amount?
The hair is free.
Put the food on account.
It’s A Dog’s Life
A dog, throughout the hours.

You don’t understand me at all.
Hey! Listen to me!
I’m trying to tell you something important.
I forgot.
Time to go out.
Why am I in the yard?
Time to come in.
I’m starving.
Wow. I’m full.
Is there more?
Skritch me.
Skritch me.
Why are you touching me?
Stranger! Stranger! Stran.. Oh, it’s Mom.
I’m sleepy.
Stranger! Stranger! Stran.. Oh, it’s Dad.
I’ll finish my nap.
Time to go out.
Nevermind.
Cleanup on aisle three.
I’m just a bit hungry.
Why did you wake me up?
Is there food?
Dad? Dad? Dad? Dad? Dad? Dad? Dad? Dad?
Nevermind.
Grandma said you have to share your steak.
I’m waiting.
This slipper tastes like steak, I think.
Mom? Mom? Mom? Mom? Mom? Mom? Mom?
Nevermind.
I’m starving again.
Not now, I’m napping.
Can I have a snack?
