My Puppy Has a Record

Maery Rose

That’s right. My sweet, perfect, little Latte was written up at Doggie Daycare last Friday for being a “bit vocal”. Oh, the shame of it. Doggie delinquency at such a young age.

I think it must have been another dog’s fault.

My darling girl is so quiet.

And polite.

She’s never a bit of trouble.

Unless someone else starts with her first.
She’s always considerate of other’s personal space.
A more gentle soul you’d be hard pressed to find.

She goes out of her way to share her toys with others.

And she absolutely adores the kitty.
And is so gentle with her.
I tell you, she is just misunderstood.

Writing a poem today was a struggle, which may be evident. Usually I just throw out whatever comes into my head, only feeling the need for slight changes. But this one came out awkward, the cadence and message lost. I’m blaming this on the dreariness and demands of the day. All the creatures were feeling…

This needs to be brief. Yeah, good luck with that. I’ve almost got through cleaning my house but still have my bedroom and bathroom to go and it’s getting late. But first I have to share a miracle. Granted, Shy and Latte have left a good deal of space between themselves, but still, truly a switch…

I have been sick for days now, with little improvement. I can’t remember being this sick since I had the measles when I was a little kid. Wrapping my legs in a blanket until they get toasty warm appears to be the cure for how achy they feel. The throbbing headache and throat that feels…

Where Did Spring Go?

When I saw my neighbor plowing the end of his driveway with his heavy duty snowblower and he looked like this: I knew it did not bode well for me with my itty, bitty snowblower. And I was right. The snow was so wet, it was like trying to push your blower through a slushy….

Whenever I visit family or family visits me, after their visit, their absence is heard in the silence, the lack of conversation and laughter. It’s felt in the lack of them, the empty space that was so recently filled with a familiar, cozy presence. It takes awhile to adjust and for things to feel normal…

Above all the other reasons, I write because the world is both heartbreakingly sad and hearbreakingly joyful, and the only way for me to bear the pain, the only way for me to bear the world’s bright beauty is to catch it up like a giggling baby and to set it down in front of…

  2. If you need someone to take the stand in her defense, I’ll be there:-) At least she’s a juvie, so her record will be erased eventually. I’d write to Obama and she if he could grant a pardon.

  8. That is the same thing that I keep telling folks about Zippy…just misunderstood. Poor little Latte….I bet she was embarrassed to have gotten that note. I love the picture of her with Shy!

  9. Oh, boy. If a sweet baby like Latte is considered “vocal,” I cringe to think what they would say about Lilly … who truly cannot play without making noise.

    P.S. Those pix of her with the kitty are just too sweet.

  11. OMG. I think someone else must be too jealous and just needs to pick a fight with you. HA! What a cutie-pie!

  13. To all – It appears that Latte’s juvenile record is still clean. This was just her first warning. I’ve been having talks with her all weekend about using her indoor voice at daycare.

    Ginnie – Thanks for stopping by! “Vision and Verb” has been quite a find and now I found your blog and will have to take a leisurely stroll through the Netherlands. Beautiful!
