Doggie Trio

Angie Grey
Decision

We ordered dog biscuits on the telephone today

We maxxed out our credit cards

We drained our bank accounts

All for doggies' treats.

We are tapped out

There is no food in the cupboard for us

The fresh food is in the refrigerator

Much too bothersome to prepare.

We are plugging pooch cookies.

We are not going to starve anymore.

Next Decision

We argued as usual about stupid things.

He ran out of the house, in a fit, got into the truck and started it. Then, he saw the leash line.

He carefully stepped out of the car, meekly and humbly looking about.

He called out, tears in his eyes, "Grumble-kin! Where are you Grumble-kin?"

He heard what sounded like the wind, while his eyes - blinded by tears.

His large dog leaping into the driver's seat, sounded like a breeze.

The huge mischief-maker tweaked with the gear shaft and the truck began to roll backward.

He was still calling out wearily for his lost puppy when the truck rolled onto him.

His body is crushed, he is no more a part of this life.

The big dog calmly sitting behind the wheel throughout the entire event, sits a while longer.

The dog is not your master.

The dog is just your friend.

Your pet cannot run your household.

We all get ridiculous at times.

Next Decision
There is no food in the house

Where is the love in our place?

The compassion has fled from us.

He looks for the dog that always gets loose.

Screaming out all his bile

That his mutt, broke the leash - again!

Starting the truck and cursing,

He pulls out at full speed.

He is a good guy

He is a gentle man

Who is not used to being like this.

A bark, a loud howl, he has run over the dog

He cries goodbye

To the pet that had wanted more.

Dog and blood and bones

Too close to the spinning wheels

Sadness and regret

Too late find him in remorse.

Alternate Decision

We called it quits.

He took one doggie

I took the other doggie

We took a long walk around the park

Going separately.

Our argument was forgotten.

The day, too beautiful to miss

A gorgeous day

What beautiful weather.
