Every day, get home, open the door --

Two dogs rushing forward, nails clicking, smaller one yipping, tails wagging.

Happy to see me like I’ve been gone for years. You’re-home, you’re-home!


Doggy smiles, doggy hugs --

Thank God for the way Treeing Walker Coonhounds were bred,

Did you know their hips can swivel almost as much as a humans?


Like that, Flurry can stand up, front paws round your waist, chin on your stomach,

Big brown eyes pleading, love-please, love-please. Scrappy whines below her,

Nips at her heels, me-too me-too! Up-stairs, up-stairs. Nap-time, nap-time.

It's about my dogs. They're probably my favorite beings on this planet (along with my other pets). Coming home makes me happy.
