alike
different
I’ve forgotten orange collar’s name
let’s call her June
pink collar
is Henrietta
Henrietta deserted me at the dog park yesterday
I don’t know why
she becomes blind and deaf to the hands and heart that feed her
like a teenager at prom (or in my case—a fishing tournament)
parents cease to exist
anyhow….
while Henny was off socializing
a fenced acre or more away from me
I reached down wanting to introduce myself to June
while cooing…..
you could be Henri’s twin!
June
growled
at
me
and
backed
away
what?!?!
I tried not to take offense
and moved on
as a coolish morn
called dozens
of pups and owners to play
later…..
I spied Henny
with June
June was not growling?!?!
I met June’s twolegs
and fourleg labradoodle
big brother
who sported a blue mohawk haircut
matching his blue collar
two twolegs chatted
found both had recently lost
beloved labrador retrievers
integrating new pups into long held routines
June’s trainer said…..
June is the laziest pup he’s ever seen
I said….
Henrietta is the wildest pup I’ve ever seen
to keep the world spinning
it takes all kinds of kinds?
(I know, I’ve shared this song before….it just seems so….important.)
One more thing….
This morning I read about
Caesar the No Drama Llama
Creative problem solving?
Sounds like those two could be a good influence on each other, helping each gravitate toward the mean. Wouldn't that be a nice development!
What a lovely interaction. They really look like twins!
