“Under a maple tree
The dog lies down,
Lolls his limp
Tongue, yawns,
Rests his long chin
Carefully between
Front paws,
Looks up, alert;
Chops, with heavy
Jaws, at a slow fly,
Blinks, rolls
On his side,
Sighs, closes
His eyes: sleeps
All afternoon
In his loose skin.”
- dog, Valerie Worth
I miss my dog Carter, obviously. Here’s to you, pooch!
And for a scent, wrap your arms around the dog you love and take a big whiff… love that dog!
give your love to dogs

Love our dog, miss him so! He does say – “Hayley – I’m not dead, but thanks for the memorial of me… come home soon and play!”
