wasn’t a liar.
If he barked there was an intruder,
or kids in trouble, or something
else that needed my attention.
- i will find a picture of Tootsie to insert -
My second dog, Monty, was a lover
and didn’t bark but licked vistors
and sang a melody in his loud baritone.
Fortunately I was never in danger
and didn't need him to be a watch dog.
My most recent dog, Humphrey is a baby,
too big for my lap, yet everything
that bumps or thumps - he jumps -
and barks until I tell him everything is okay.
Each of these dogs
shared my home and brought their own
personality perhaps reflecting a time in my life
where they were the right barking dog.
