She stepped out smartly
in her spanking new
red and black boots,
black straps tight around
her ankles,
highlighting her long, lean legs,
prancing like a
ballerina,
stepping high,
grinding to a halt.
No amount of leash pulling,
cajoling, bribing, pleading
would move those spanking
new black and red boots.
As soon as the boots
disappeared into R's
pockets, along with the
leash (after a furtive look
for the dog police),
she ran off, tail wagging
furiously, disappearing
into a bank of white
powder.

BA forwarded this to me. We have C's 1/2-sis, Coco, who has much the same temperament and energy, only in brown. I can so imagine the abject stubbornness and then the unadulterated joy when the booties were removed. Thanks for the nice poeme..
