Sweet wee dog, There is nothing like the love of a dog, unconditional devotion, I have three rough collies and although hard work they reward me daily, this poem tells me you don't take his affection for granted. MaggieF

Hi,
Such a cute dog. I had one dog that was very similar, but grey. She used to sleep in my ed and follow me everywhere, too. She died years ago.
Flow of words is good and syllable count intended is correct.

Hello Patty, it's great to see Howie. He looks so loyal and cuddly. I was just reading your profile information, congratulations on your contract for ten of your pet stories. This is great news and it could not have happened to a better person. You deserve this recognition and payment.

This is a great 5 - 7 - 5 piece. I just love the animals...

Hi Patty, this is a very nice 5-7-5 on your dog, Howie. Excellent syllable count noted. Our pets do show us unconditional love and are great buddies.

So Howie, as attractive as Leo! As usual a lovely poem. Short and sweet. Pets' love I guess is sometimes more dependable than human love. Pets are family.

I enjoyed reading your 575 poem this evening. The slant rhyme of buddy/love works well and adds to the quality of the read.

It is amazing how dogs will love unconditionally. They can easily lift ones spirits simply by running a cold nose on your ear or licking the back of your hand.Or, in the case of my son's four Siberian huskies, knock you down and maul you with kisses. lol

thank you so much for your thoughtful and kind review. It sounds like you son's huskies are a blast. My daughter only has one and she thinks she is a lap dog,

LOL! I think the lady doth protest too much! Howie and Bernie are better companions than anyone else in my life - but only because they don't have jobs!
