My dog doesn’t lie around and worry.
She doesn’t ponder life and death,
couldn’t give a hoot about Putin or
Trump, never considers why, what if?
She couldn’t care less about tomorrow
or plans for the future. She is basically
an instinctual critter who responds to
the here and now, and reacts naturally,
immediately and accordingly. You have
an itch scratch it. You are disturbed, bark,
bite, run or chase, tail wagging or tucked
between the hind legs. She can be taught
and is willing to learn without concern.
Generally, if treated well, she is loyal
to her master and is willing to follow
and obey, sit, stay, fetch, sic em…
good girl! My dog is a true and faithful
companion to the end, even though she
has no concept of a beginning or an end.
She responds to attention, good or bad, in
the moment, my best friend with the given
that she and I are not physically, mentally
or physiologically alike. I am merely human
with all these concerns and stressful shit on
my mind which at times worries me
considerably. Needless to say, I am
supposed to be responsible for the
care and feeding in this family.
