Loved these! The first one is a bit of a shock, actually, neatly piercing that mantle of self-satisfied sentimentality we drape over the relationship with our pets...

These are so simple and profound.  Humans from a dog's POV, the personification of needed items.  I really enjoyed these - thanks!  Mal

I liked both the poems, Ciel, and was thinkin that many dogs must feel this
way!

Ooooo - how I just loved the one about ordinary things.  And I did smile that cats write in prose.

Wonderful post, Ciel.
Thank you for sharing these.
I must send this to Son #3 who has a border collie named Rocky.
