Losing two doggies,
one sick, one old,
is no picnic lunch at the beach
with a table cloth to cover the sand,
big rocks holding down the pretty print,sand blows and sticks to the food
no matter what measures taken.
See poetic avoidance?
Get to it.
I KNEW:
no more dogs!
Think of the freedom...no dog sitters for vacations.
no dog hair.
no dog worries.
no dog attachment.
Why look in the news ads for puppies.
Makes no sense.
Doggies cause TROUBLE.
Doggies cost MONEY.
At the vet, 1 1/2 days in,
we told how Penny
had a sick belly, wouldn't eat
wouldn't drink: especially concerning.
ER Vet said maybe parasites or virus
not worse, probably, hopefully, sick-with-worry-ly.
$$$ spent to buy pup
$$$ money spent to fix pup
There went the freedom from vet debt.
How do you factor money into bonding time?
I thought we'd had enough pain,
enough to know not to get a dog.
