Unconditional Love

[Editor’s Note: Our favorite poetess composed this rhyme in honor of Pet Month, which began last Thursday.] 

With soulful eyes looking into yours
A body quivering with anticipation
And a low moan as you take your time
Unscrewing the lid off the jar of treats
 
Your faithful, adoring pooch,
Who loves you unconditionally,
Will cover you with doggie kisses
As she thanks you profusely
Over and over again
For the treats,
For the walks,
For scratching her behind the ears
 
Pet Month is a time to remember
And to savor all the “treats”
Our dogs have provided as
Faithful companions
Loving playmates
Loyal guardians
 
So here’s to our pets
May they live long
Be healthy
Be happy and
Content in their lives with us…

Let’s also remember the Boneyard, the wonderful Culver City Dog Park that celebrated its sixth anniversary this month and contributes so much to our dogs’ well being.  “Treats” are always welcome. They may be donated by visiting www.culvercitydogpark.org
