dog tired
after a day of play,
lying on the floor in repose,
feet, tail, tongue outstreched.

the dog discovers television
confused and concerned
by the tv dog's barking.
staring, head tilted

two dog night
the whole bed shaking
a syncopated rhythm
of two dogs panting

grass abuse
grass seeds germinate
slender green tendrils defy
the dogs' trampling feet.

water retrieval
pond ripples wobble
in a muddy, churning wake
where buddy splashed in.

panting
dog tongue of summer:
dangling, bouncing with each breath,
drippng in the heat.

chase is on
dirt flies with each stride,
tongue hanging out to one side,
quarry in full flight.

tracking
nose pressed in the grass,
leaving zigs-zags in the dew
to trace the squirrel's path.

waking the neighbors
tugging at the leash,
yelping a plea to revenge
the treed squirrel's taunting.

fetch
leaping, looking back
tracks his prey's trajectory--
pock! teeth clamping down.

morning routine
damp muzzle nudges,
bed bounces, warm spot vacant—
wake up! dogs must pee!
