Dogs are Inconvenient

Dogs are Inconvenient

He complains that it’s
so inconvenient, the going back
and forth between his house
and mine.
Why not live together,
it would make life so much easier.
He goes off to Houston to see
family and I am left to care for his dogs
for three days and three nights.
No, my love, I will tell him tomorrow
as I hand over his dogs, food,
meds, leashes, collars,
poopie bags and an extra copy
of the DVD “The Dog Whisperer”,
it is not the distance between our
houses that is so inconvenient.

Dogs are inconvenient.

Note to dog lovers and Stephen: Yes, I know you love them.
