Now that she regularly steals people food from the pantry, Jade the dog is becoming more and more like the human race she wants to be a member of. Recently she was reading my blog and got the idea that she could write poetry. So, I was searching for an idea for today’s post and decided I would let her give it a try. So all of this poetry today will be written by the family dog.
Introducing Dog Thoughts
Woof! Grumph-hak-borph-borph… Rrrr.
Did you get that? Or do I have to translate everything into your language?
Boofa-Rrrrr. Bork bork grumph…. okay, we’ll do it your way.
But every time I need to add a tail wag,
Ima gonna go “*************” where each “*” is one wag.
Got it now? People are so dumb!

The family dog after eating enough potato chips to become all people-y…
It Is a Stinky World!
Ooowow! I go outside and I can smell dog poop in the park!
The rabbit that lives in the hedge leaves those little round brown things!
I want to put my nose in a pile of those *********!
I like to eat cat droppings, but you have to dig them up *******
And I am deathly afraid of the white cat… it kills and eats rats!
And it’s almost as big as I am
With breath that smells like dead rats
It is a stinky world! *******
Isn’t that great! ********
Queen of the Couch
Why do you not understand
That the couch is mine all morning and all afternoon?
I will get off when it’s time to eat
And I will get off when it’s time to go outside
But the rest of the time the couch is mine
So don’t disturb me
Or I’ll pee in your shoes!
.
Rats Are NOT Our Friends
I smell them more than see them
With rank and nasty sewer smells
And I never, ever catch them
They don’t come ringing bells
And my master puts out poison
Which they eat with garbage sauce
But it only makes them poison-proof
And I am at a loss…
All I do is bark at them
When I smell them in the walls
And my family’s mad at ME
When all the blame and curses fall.
The Beg-Eye
Do you really not see me here? *****
Here right by your knee? ******
I know you’re eating bacon! *******
I can smell every bite disappearing! ********
Look into my eyes! *********
My big, sad dog eyes! **********
Don’t you want to give me some? **********
I mean, it’s BACON! ************

I Do Love My Family
I take my beloved family members for walks
Four or five times a day
It keeps them healthy
With cold, wet noses
And shiny coats of fur
And I always make sure they are on the other end of the leash
How else can I guide them, and keep them safe?
From passing cars?
And other dogs?
But I wish they would be patient
when I stop to sniff all the tree trunks and posts
Where I check the messages from boy dogs
Written in pee
Some of them sure do have healthy bladders! **************!

A wonderful and very funny story. Thanks for sharing! xx Michael
Rat poison very bad juju. Must not do.
I was making the rats happy and fat with the rat poisono. But I put out glue traps and I managed to catch a couple of big Norway boss rats and more of their minions than I can count.
Rats eat the poison and the whatever eats the rat dies.
I was not eating the rats I poisoned, although the way I write probably makes you believe that I did. I buried them in the retaining wall I was fixing at the time. But in all the time that they were eating the poison I only ever found two. After I learned the hard way that poisoning them is the wrong way to do it, we never let the dog eat them when she killed them in the glue traps. We took them away from her as soon as they were dead. And a lot of them were killed with a hammer to the head. I could never have dealt with rabbits or squirrels that way, but red-eyed Norway rats trapped in glue and ready to bite you get less sympathy.
Out here we have a serious mortality problem in our mountain lions and carrion eaters. The rats and squirrels and who knows what else eat the poison bait. The get sick or die and are consumed by everything from house pets to mountain lions. These animals then die.

Yes, I was doing it wrong, and I don’t do it that way anymore. The mountain lions in the Dallas suburbs can now feel a little safer. Not much. Just a little.
