The Happy Gene

This was both delightful and remarkable to read. Your choice of topics was great and I agree with you in your belief that dogs have a happy gene. If only we could inherit that happy gene. I know that my dog appears so happy to see me even if I have just taken the trash out and return. A moment of separation seems to be a life time for them. Great job, thanks so much.

this is indeed a happy poem and makes me remember all of the fun and love I gave and got from my dog who sadly has passed on. It a problem as we always know the pet will die before us

Hi there;
Thank you so much for sharing your lovely poem about our dogs, and their love for us. It does seem as though they are always happy to see us, and the little things we do for them aren't nearly enough to reward their smiling faces,

Mermaids,
I think you've got that just right. And probably, what keeps your furry babies so happy is that time you give to them so freely. A win-win deal for everyone. Thanks!

Barb,
It is truly amazing how these little critters alter our lives in so many ways. Sometimes, I think they are throwing us a human treat when they love us back. Nicely written. :0 GracieAnn

Comment from shieldsE
Nicely written short poem. Lovely photo of the dogs. I believe what you are experiencing with your pets is unconditional love. Yes, a treat from the stresses of life where we are called to be constant performers in one avenue or another. Pets are not so demanding and one can let their hair down and just enjoy being.

Comment from Poetic Friend
I agree with you wholeheartedly about a pet being a stress reliever. There is nothing better than a dog waiting for you after a long hard day at work, providing unconditional love. It places a smile on my face each day that I witnessed such.
Just reading your poem places a smile on face because your words lovingly describes the canine.
Great poem. I immensely enjoyed it.

Comment from Joan E.
No wonder they are called man's best friend! They are also good for our health, since they encourage us to walk outdoors. I enjoyed your free verse and the artwork you selected reinforces your "happy gene" theme--just look at those smiling faces! More smiles- Joan
