I’ve always had a weakness for silver-haired gents. Stylish and European, He was all but irresistible. A portly gentleman down on his luck, Winston was recently incarcerated due to circumstances beyond his control. Our meeting was quite by chance and I had no intention of romance… But I cannot deny our connection, two old souls needing a little something only the other had to give. I brought him into my heart and home… It was as if we had been together forever. When he looks at me with his deep dark eyes I melt into his bidding. Now, if I told you Winston is an old Schnauzer would you think I’ve got to be kidding? LGR©6/22/15 |

Winston is my new best friend. We are going to be walking buddies as soon as this heat wave passes. We are both overweight and on a diet. He is 10 yrs old. (I wasn't ready for a long term relationship) This is the first time I have had a dog that doesn't shed! I'm spoiled!~L |

Jimmy! I'm so glad you liked this one! FYI Our cat showed up as a stray kitten on Father's Day about 5 years ago. This year my husband got a house dog. He was a little skeptical at first but he likes him better everyday. ~L |

I KNEW it as I have just read Dog, though I was disappointed right at the beginning when I thought he was going to be a mere human, but soon saw he wasn't - and at the end, relief! Love it! A few months ago, I was adopted by 3 feral kittens, Shadrach, Meshach and Abigail (you can't call a little girl, Abednego!). I am off to find JP Winston I and JP Winston II! [PS Oh, having searched, I see now that the silver-haired gentleman is JP Winston III - I thought the poem was the third in a series about JP Winston - saw your poem title 'Counting Porches' and read it at first as 'Counting Pooches' - Funny how one sees what one wants to, eh?] Can't you put a photo of the eminent JP Winston III into Dog? |

Owl, He is a handsome fellow I must admit. I'm happy to hear I had you going there for a bit too. I will see about putting his pic up on Dog. ~L |

Oh, I am certain he is a handsome fellow - all doggies are handsome or beautiful, depending on their gender - but I am sure he is particularly handsome. I will look out for his photo on Dog. |
