FAMILY DOG

it is a she

she thinks like a human

a sentient being the master calls her

also his daughter he thinks it is

though she doesn’t look like either one of us

she is the boss here

she has us just where she wants us

under her rule and castle

she thinks it is hers to own

she is the master’s alarm clock

to get up and feed her NOW

but before we feed her she is suppose to do her business

she fakes it by just lifting her leg

she can get away with it from the master

but not the mistress who knows her games too well

she will do tricks for treats

dance around in circles

walks on her hind legs

sit, down, roll, shake and sings

she kisses for treats

those can be a lot of treats

we watch her diet

but not our own

she lets us know her dissatisfaction

with a growl

sometimes she is bluffing

or she’ll even fake a yawn

if we want to play.

she is too smart

she knows too many words

for she has broken the code of our spelling

when she does play

we love to hear her for she is laughing

she sleeps between the mistress and the master

her name is noodle.~~lorilynn
