This is exquisitely woven! I especially resonate with; “I hope like me you will one day sniff out what’s new and different and travel with the windows down once in a while and never, ever hold a grudge. We have so much to learn from each other.” Yes! 💝💝
It is indeed a dog’s life, Christine! Unlike cats, they do aim to please, as do some of us in our relationships, avoiding conflict as best we can. Unconditional love is, however, rare in humans. I especially love the lines:
‘I hope like me you will one day
sniff out what’s new and different
and travel with the windows down
once in a while
and never, ever hold a grudge’.
It’s easy to love a dog, as fresh and open and pure as they are (especially puppies) … And wonderful to see how a human can also be so. (And why not?) Healing too, perhaps.
Thank you David, but it is so true. This dog story goes both ways. Sometimes we can be too much like a dog and on the other hand many of us can learn from dogs. e.g. be less afraid and more carefree ☺️
Oh my gosh that was hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I couldn’t stop laughing. She absolutely nailed it. I do hope she is successful after that performance. Thanks David!💕
This is wonderfully engaging, and such a keen insight to the nature of the animal, and I assume, to yourself. Well written Christine!
Thank you Rob! I really appreciate it. ☺️
This is so sweet… if we could only behave a little bit more like this toward each other.
Than’ you! Exactly. ☺️

Ah yes Sanaa! We should all,live out lives like dogs. The world would be a happier place ☺️💕
We can learn so much from them. I know I have. Thanks for these words
Thank you for reading ☺️

Thank you Kim. I always appreciate your kind words ☺️ It was an interesting prompt.
You’ve hit on some of the most important lessons we can learn from animals here, Christine.
Thanks Ingrid ☺️

Thanks Brendan. I appreciate it ☺️
For some reason, those last two lines made me a bid sad, Christine… to have no purpose other than to bring pleasure to another being. 🤷
But that doesn’t at all distract from the loveliness of your poem! It was just a natural reaction of mine.
Yours,
David

Very fluid writing, Christine, emulating the best in the canine and avoiding the rest is good advice.
