And so
Sally simply lapped the remaining tea from his cup.
The discerning dog
deciding who is master
and who is not.
Curling and quivering her lips
in the blissful sleep that followed walk
she hadnt appetite or means to discuss
with whom she talked.
And so
it was we slipped into
our blissful Sunday sleep
of milky tea with sugar and secrets
that will keep.

I really like this - my male dog, Stuart, sits beside me and waits for me to finish my latte so he can have the cup.  I get them from a mocha stand in paper cups .. he's in heaven when he gets the cup from me.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this exquisite poem, Spuddette - along with every animal that ever walked, hopped, slithered, flew the planet.  Please hug Sally and tell her that Auntie Di from South Africa loves her too.

Alison please do the same for Stuart.

A lovely tribute to a sweet and dear friend. I can certainly relate.

Thanks all.
Thanks Aunty Di. Sally now hugged as requested. I also wrote "Old News" posted further down which was inspired by Sally too, as she likes to climb onto the couch on top of all the papers, usually onto what I am reading at that very moment. hehe.
