The Family Dog
Living in the now
So tolerant and loving
Four legged loyalty
Patiently waits
For us to come home
Greeted by warm joy
and a happy tail.

This weeks Poetry Jam theme is hosted by Gabriella
and she chose the theme of Tribute. Now most people
might chose a human- I chose the family dog- an important
element in many children's lives. Do click on the link
above to enjoy more Tribute poems.
And for heavens sake have a lovely day!
And if you walk out the door and then walk back in, it's as if you've been gone for hours!
ReplyDeleteFor the most part dogs give such unconditional love...
ReplyDeleteand as Alex said - every moment is new. It's like they have ADD (Attentive Doggy Delight).
smiles...our pups are def our faithful friends...even my cat is the first to talk to me when i come to the door...let me in i want food...ha......
ReplyDeleteAh, I understand paying tribute to the family dog. They are definitely the most loyal of friends! Glad to see you in Poetry Jam!
ReplyDeleteI love the pic. Sometimes the dog's welcone is the only thing that keeps us going and certainly worth a tribute.
ReplyDeleteOh how I love the family dog. Always happy to see you! Definitely one who deserves a tribute.
ReplyDeleteI adore poems about dogs, who are the most loving creatures!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet tribute to your family dog! Dogs are always so happy to see us, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteThe most loyal friends on earth aren't they? And I love those paw prints in the snow :)
ReplyDeleteA cute piece, Kathe.
ReplyDeleteI can't even spoil it by telling you those are squirrel tracks - LOL
Thanks for playing M.M.P.P. Kathe!
(You're my only regular contributor, y'know!)
They are best friends, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteOur Little Bit does all this and talks and talks and talks when we return home. We don't leave her very often either.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day honey. Big hugs. ♥♥♥
We can learn so much from our dogs, can't we? Love your tribute, Kathe.
ReplyDeleteKathe, you perfectly captured why I have dogs :-). Everyone needs a little joy in their day, and dogs seem to be able to give it effortlessly
ReplyDeleteI love your poem. The picture, too!
