The best time of the day
is when he comes home.
He’s big and
sees meis when he comes home.
as soon as he comes in the door.
We play the game where he
chases me down and rubs
my belly. Then he says, “whose the
best dog in the whole wide world?”
as he lifts me high in the air.
I don't have to do anything
he answers his own question.
“YOU are” he says, and pets me
some more. Then the best part.
He puts me down,
goes into the room where my treat is kept.
I have to sit when he says, I can’t
go until he says the magic word
“COME” and I do. I run so fast and get
so excited that I get choked up sometimes.
Then I run away to my rug
so I can eat every crumb. I only get one a day
so sometimes I go back to my rug
to see if I left a crumb. I'll wait until
tomorrow for another treat but now
I get all the belly rubs I want.

Life is a treat with a pet :-) well done!
How nice to have a dog life, with a treat waiting at the end of the day ~
This is pure delight! I can imagine a dog thinking and saying all of it. I had an English Springer for eleven years ... she was a huge part of my life.
smiles...i know my cat likes it...he tells me all about it when i get there....smiles...its nice to think they look forward to us for more than food...smiles.
....nothing like a little incentive. ;)
I can picture Lexie doing this! Really she should get a treat when you come home too! Thanks for posting!!
What a lucky dog to have two treats to rait for at the end of the day. A human and something delicious to eat. Glad to see you at Poetry Jam, Judy.
I love this! But I'd have to slip him extra treats (which is why all our dogs are overweight!) I so love these poems in the voice of animals.
Peggy, Lexi did not like Bill so much at first. She was definitely my dog. We thought he would be the only one to give her a treat and she'd look forward to him being home and go to him. It worked and we've kept it up. Truely, I am glad I don't have to worry with her begging for treats from me. :)
Sherry, for a while Bill was giving Lexi a huge treat. Vet said cut it in thirds and it was hard...not for Lexi as much as it was for Bill. LOL
Well isn't that something? I ask my dog the very same question, and answer for him with the very same answer, every day!
Love this point of view! Well done! Thank you, peace and all good things for you in poetry and in life.
Sincerely,
Diane
The voice you create puts across a real sense of companionship and love here. Nice one :)
I think I'd have to give another treat!! cute poem!
