Sorry no sixes left for this oh-so-true-to-doggie life! Made me think of the popular song a few millennia ago: Betty Davis Eyes. They really can look so human and express themselves so well with only a look. Glad to see you're a softee for her. Nice writing! God bless, Dennis

Thank you, Dennis, for such a thoughtful review. Sounds like you
might be a dog lover yourself.

Hi Connie. This poem is so touching and gorgeous. I wish I had a sixer for you. It touched my heart. I love your beautiful Bella. I know exactly what you are talking about. I feel the same about my own pets. Marilyn

Comment from doggymad
I had to laugh when I read this cute poem. It seems that your dog has you well trained.
As the owner of two precious boys I know exactly what you go through. Their eyes are the most lethal weapon known to mankind.
The chores will always be their but our beloved dogs will not, so what is a few minutes of their time to us in a day
hugs

Comment from Dean Kuch
I am so, so very much in agreement with what you've written here in your exceptionally well-rhymed poem, Connie.
I can't deny my Chihuahua, Gidget, anything when she gives me that "look." She's is sixteen-years-old, after all, and was born an orphan. Her momma had a hemorrhage the night she gave birth to Gidget and one other sibling, a male. She became so weak she laid on top of Gidget's little brother and suffocated him. She died shortly after.
The vet gave Gidget a 20% chance of survival without her momma to nurse her and give her the comfort a newborn puppy requires.
Now, sixteen years later, she is thankfully still with me.
Me and that little dog have been through more together than anyone could possibly know outside of my immediate family.
She is without a doubt my very best friend in the world.
A wonderfully written poem dedicated to our beloved pets.
Thanks so much for sharing.

Thank you, Dean, for your review. What a sweet story about you and your Gidget. Sounds like you two are a pair for sure.
Very nice picture, by the way, of the two of you. She is a cutie.

Thank you, Sharon, for your review.
I love writing poems about dogs since there seem to be a lot of dog owners on this site
who can relate to owning a dog.
They are wonderful companions.
thanks again

Comment from nancy_e_davis
She looks a bit like our dog Freddie. He is a black lab and so smart! It is hard to ignore those eyes and they have so much patience and they know how to lay the guilt on us don't they.
This is a dynamite poem Connie. Very well done dear. Nancy

Thank you, Nancy, for a wonderful review and for that shiny sixth star.
You are right in that our dogs sure know how to work us when it comes to guilt.
Bella was a stray dog whom our friends found roaming out in the country. They called
and asked us if we wanted her. Our beloved dog had just died the month before.
At first, we were reluctant to take in another dog so soon, but we went to see her anyway.
And, of course, she won our hearts immediately. Now she totally controls us and is a spoiled
city dog!
Thanks again, my friend.

Aw. Who could say no to that sad look on Bella's face. How funny that she'll just wait patiently for you.
I enjoy poems of ordinary day things like this.

Thanks so much, Teresa, for your lovely review. Yes, Bella will wait forever for us to come out and play with her. She has way more patience than I'd ever have!
Thanks again.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem. It is sometimes a good thing to break the routine for a while and do something out of the ordinary. It makes one feel alive again getting away for a few minutes

Aww. I'm a dog-person too, so I know exactly what you are talking about here. Loved the photo of your dog - and also the words of wisdom for us to obey and get out there and play. Beautiful meter throughout. Only one stumble point and that was on the last line:
me to play fetch, I must abide.
'Me' is usually a stressed word, and so is 'to' so the scansion breaks - a suggestion for change:
I can't ignore those eyes that ask
(that we) play fetch; I must abide.

Thank you, my friend, for a wonderful review. You are right about the one line that was off in meter, and I took your suggestion. I always appreciate constructive criticism. Thank you for the suggestion.
Hope you are feeling better.
