Dogs don’t purr and cats don’t wag their tails. They are fashioned from totally different fabrics of affection. The dry raspy kiss of a cat in no way resembles the damp soggy smooch of a pooch. A cat will rub against you where a dog will simply pester you with a paw. A cat can knead you like a ball of dough. A dog will dig you like dirt. Upon your lap, it is a well known fact, a dog might wiggle and squirm. A cat would never act like that. A dog will come to you bursting with affection. A cat, on the other hand, waits until it is going your direction to stop and let you pet it. I’ll defer to which you prefer. Just keep in mind, dogs don’t purr. LGR(C)4/5/19 |

Marvelous! How accurate, and droll, simultaneously! |

Thanks Gunslinger! Winston was a good dog and I'm taking his passing hard. I'm thinking I'll be writing a bit of dog poetry here for a while. ~L |

I feel your ache, Lori. Winston, is now in Heaven, where there is no more pain and suffering ever again. He is bounding happily through gardens with other dogs, but all the time watching over you. The loving and caring bond you share with each other will never be broken. Tears and hugs. Rest (and play) in peace and happiness, dear beautiful, cuddly, clever, lovable, loving, sweetie-pie Winston and help dry Mommy's tears in time. As you know, angel-doggie, your Mommy will love you for ever and ever and ever. |

Thanks everybody for your support. Funny thing about this poem, it gave me the idea of the possibility for another book of my poetry--A collection of all my animal poetry. And this would be the title poem. I'm not up to the challenge at the moment, but a seed has been planted. ~L (my first book, Endangered Species, is available on Amazon) |
