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!💕
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.
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’.
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! 💝💝
Aww love this..digging to China lol..beautiful ❤🌹
Thank you! I’m so happy you liked it ☺️💕
You’ve written it so well.
Thanks Sadje. I’m happy you enjoyed it 🥰
You’re welcome my dear
Very fluid writing, Christine, emulating the best in the canine and avoiding the rest is good advice.
Thanks Lisa ☺️We can learn a lot from our dogs 🐕
You’re very welcome.
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

Thanks Brendan. I appreciate it ☺️
You’ve hit on some of the most important lessons we can learn from animals here, Christine.
Thanks Ingrid ☺️

Thank you Kim. I always appreciate your kind words ☺️ It was an interesting prompt.
We can learn so much from them. I know I have. Thanks for these words
Thank you for reading ☺️

Ah yes Sanaa! We should all,live out lives like dogs. The world would be a happier place ☺️💕
This is so sweet… if we could only behave a little bit more like this toward each other.
Than’ you! Exactly. ☺️
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. ☺️
