Legs

Over in the Garden, Karin mentioned legs.  So, I am going to write about the last leg I stood on.  My son needed me to watch his puppy, Wade.  He was dropped him off Sunday evening and by midnight I realized the puppy had slept all day.  I finally dragged a mattress into my daughter's old room, which is getting a make over and encouraged him with a rawhide chew and a ceiling fan to settle down.   He finally did and I passed out until 2:30am-he asked to go out.  Then he woke me  again at 5am.  I gave up and got up.  I haven't been the same since Wade arrived.  He dragged me,  pulled me, got away from me headed to the snake pit swamp.  It didn't help that it was early in the morning and I was in a long T-shirt and flip flops hollering at a beagle. I didn't run...I knew he would.  I hoped I was having a nightmare as I stood sinking in leave muck worried about snakes.  Wade has a new name  Devil Dog.   I have photos on my cell phone of the huge seven foot long black snake we saw a few hours after our event.  I was more worried about Wade running away than the neighbors seeing me in my pj's, but I have learned my lesson.   He has the sweetest face, but all day long he would scratch to go outside, five minutes after being indoors. I had him for several days-he wore me out~

Waderful

You zigzagged me

through the forest

chasing a rabbit

chasing a bird

chasing daylight

Buff n' tough

you escaped

lunged for soaring

wings

towards swamp things

Devil Dog

you want a treat

you furbaby from hell

dragging me to all 

corners of my

hood

I am sore

calf muscles knotted

zombie like I wander

into  day

you are gone

did I dream

of you-playing

with Underdog

chasing me

looping me through trees

running at me and then pulling

me like a kite.

I apologize-I am still worn out from lack of sleep and this  furry personal trainer torturing me.  My son asked if I could watch him next week.  A free fitness session-yippie!  I am so not doing

a Snoopy dance~
