This is priceless. Precious poem about a precious dog named Bernie. I get lost in the rules to all the many styles of poetry. I even took Brookes class, and flunked. She denied it, but believe me I flunked. I got the rhyme scheme but you lost me on the meter. However, I believe you id just fine with it. I wish you all the best in this contest too.

Hi, Sasha,
Thank you so much for the lovely review.
Bernie loves it when I write anything about him - but right now both he and Howie are upset that I haven't posted one of their stories to FS in a while,

Good old Bernie. As said, a dog's life can't be that bad if so loved.
A nice little write that makes one realize how precious our pets are to each.
My best wishes Patty.

Hi, RG,
Yes, Howie and Bernie haven't had a story in a while, so this was just a bit to appease them. I need to post a story sometime soon,

Good morning, Patty
Enjoyed the poem and tribute to Bernie. Another form of poetry I will add to my list. Only pet owners, especially dog owners can appreciate what a dog brings to out lives. To a dog, everyday is Christmas.
Take care and stay safe,
Ray

Hi, Ray,
Yes, Bernie is indeed my constant companion and the very definition of what a dog can do to enrich someone's life.
Thank you for the R&R,

Anybody who has a fur baby knows they are NOT just dogs but a very important part of the family. I enjoyed reading your contest entry and wish you the best of luck.

Hi, Barbara,
Bernie was SO happy when I wrote this. I really need to post one of the stories about the boys, but I'm using all my funny money to promote the chapters of 'Guilty.'
Thank you so much for the R&R,

Hi, meeshu,
Thank you for the lovely review of this little poem in honor of Bernie. He and Howie are wondering why I haven't posted any of their stories in a while, well, it's been a whirlwind of activity around here, classes start in less than three weeks, and I've got my latest novel in the cycle for publication,
Have a great weekend,
~patty~

What precious kissable face! Bernie is a cutie! I love when I can read the deep connection and love between animals and humans. They are family... :) This is a doggone (pun intended)... good contest entry. I hope you and Bernie do well!

That's a cute one. Seems like he's a great little companion. It's good that he can make up for that cold, little nose by serving as a foot warmer! Enjoyed your well crafted rispetto.

So cute. Nice photo of Bernie. Love those pretty eyes. Your Rispetto give honor and justice to your pup. Good luck in the contest and you're right--"he is not just a dog." Marilyn

Hi Patty. Same here with Jewel. She wants me to write about her again.
Comment from Phyllis Stewart
Very cute, and cute pic, too. I know the feeling. Lexy wakes me up (too early) with kisses, and Mark isn't even jealous. As soon as I go to bed, she jumps up and snuggles at my side...has to be touching me, even when it's a hot July night. Then she makes me pet her. She's such a slave master. :)

I bet Lexy drives you crazy in the morning. Bernie thinks it's his job in life to wake me up at the crack of dawn,
