Do you really understand me
when I talk to you
As you look into my eyes
it seems as though you do

Seeming to sense my moods
happiness, sadness, or joy I feel
Ready to lend a listening ear
I know your love is real

I talk to you a lot
every single day
Even when I get busy
close by my side you stay

If I have to go somewhere
and you can't go along
Sometimes you make me feel as if
I've done something wrong

I also know always
protection to me you'll give
Listening and watching for
anything different where we live

You certainly have proven well
as only you, little Scooter, can do
That "Dog is man's best friend"
now, this lady believes it's true

It certainly is true, Ethel! My little guy wouldn't let anyone hurt me. He's sooooo brave...until it thunders, of course! Cute tribute to Scooter!

This reminds me of one of my favorite books -Kinship with all Life.
It takes an open, loving heart to know how to listen.
And you listen(and then write about it!)
so wonderfuly.

Denise,
Sounds like you know what I'm talking about.
Yeah, my Scooter is afraid of thunder, too...
then he wants me to protect him....lol
He hops up in my lap when it thunders, even
if I'm at the computer.
.

Nancy Lee,
Yeah, I didn't really plan it that way,
until I was about half-way through writing it,
and I decide to not put the title as "Scooter". lol  
.
.
Pat,
Thank you. I'm glad that you liked it.
My little dog sure is a lot of company to me.

Paul, I know...
I really didn't intend the poem to sound like
I was writing about Gary to start with, then
the more I wrote, I thought about how similar
it was to my love poems to him. Then, I decided
to kid a little bit and wait until the ending
to reveal what the poem was about....

I'm glad that it gave you "a happy face".
