Paws I pause considering her forelegs splay a melt of dog like butter warming on a plate equi-distant place of snout eyes in droop and hound dog red begs to me to show concern her body stretches out linear her tail reposed upon the floor with just a hint of flicker hope as I stood there watching her. In the middle of my floor where the tile is clean and cool Impatient as I pounced my path of laundry and my things undone I started to demand she "MOVE" but something ceased my stomp of feet-- I shook my head and laughed at me-- then I walked around again just the way I always did... and will do again, again smiling as her velvet eyes becoming this-- a curtain fringed-- slowly eased this close of play. Her tail thumped lightly in applause. [This message has been edited by serenity blaze (09-26-2003 12:01 AM).] |

Perfect! We don't own animals; we just get to borrow them. ( I doubt any one really will think of you as a dog.)  |

hey ice-- I thought about this awhile and I've decided that perhaps she does this thing (always when I'm frantically busy too) to remind me to slow down and just BREATHE. She's one up on me. I have no idea how my tile feels on my bare chest. Chuckle. You KNOW that will change REAL SOON. *giggle* and thank you lovie, with hugs. |

Dogs and cats don't have owners......they have staff. Thanks for the reminder and the nice poem. |

Seren, wasn't sure where the title was going but sure did love where it lead. It seems perhaps we can all learn the lesson from her? Thanks for sharing this it was a delightful treat today and so well done in your usual serenity style...Once again I bow to your awesome abilities!! Hugs. I must have had my momma's will |

*sniffing at Chris* ROFL..you are too cute. And thanks for sharing the smiles with me. Y'gotta love em, huh? But as I just told a friend, "Annie" is taking advantage of the fact that I'm sitting HERE, and she has taken up MY spot on the couch, and on MY pillow too! Hey!  Gimme that remote control, bad dog! and hugs all. |
