DOG HAIKU

I lie belly-up

In the sunshine, happier than

You ever will be

I sound the alarm!

Garbage man - come to kill all -

Look! Look! Look! Look! Look!

How do I love thee?

The ways are numberless as

My hairs on the rug.

Look in my eyes and

Deny it. No human could

Love you as much I do.

I am your best friend,

Now, always, and especially

When you are eating.

I LOVE MOM'S FIG TREE!

The fig tree smells SO sweet and delicious! Sometimes mom will break off a twig and we'll play fetch ... at least until I decide to chew it up. There aren't a lot of figs this year so the birds will probably get them once they get ripe. Sometimes I'll eat one, but I really just like to roll around in the leaves!

WHAT'S THAT SMELL? SMELLS LIKE FALL!

It's been very cool here in the mountains. Yesterday I think I even smelled someone using their fireplace. I'm really enjoying staying outside, especially in the early mornings.
This picture is from last fall. I had a lot of fun rolling around in those leaves. I'm looking forward to it again this year. Maybe my mom will rake up a pile for me to jump into! (Mom are you reading this?)
