Mod
the Scottish West Highlands, your
ghost still haunts my heart.
I say, "Munchie, Come!"The clever pug holds out for
"Would you like a treat?"
Mod
Loki for short, god of wine
and song, now long gone.
wisest, kindest, most
wonderful, just two years old
poisoned in the yard.
Like a cuppa Joebeige with swirls of white; a friend
to all who walked by
Someone called us once
thought he was lost, but he was
in front of our house
Joe went out one night
For an adventure or hunt
And never came back
Someone took him home
We tell ourselves, because he
was such a cool cat
Mod
I'm Spartacus! But my friends
all call me Sparky.
Sleeping peacefullyShe stretches her legs and paws
Phew! A smelly fart
once a spunky puginflamation in his brain
crept in from nowhere
I see his seizure
he's scared, his mouth is foaming
death has brought him peace
he's now in heaven
with all the Greenies he wants
lots of stuffed toys, too

Didn't really know
you, Munchkin. From what I hear,
you were a good pet.
(eulogy stolen from Garden State. It's one of my favorite recent movies and a very touching scene involving the burial of a beloved pet.)

Fritzy was around
before I was born. He too
was lost to the woods.

Nicky was a chow
with a big black tongue and a
taste for kids' fingers.
----
Stout-hearted Sethra
fractured her femur at two
months - just a puppy.
One flight to Fairbanks,
One grand, five steel pegs later,
and she's good as new.
----
a vet assistant's
job is never done. always
more poop to be scooped.
----
volunteering at
the animal shelter helped
soothe my heart a bit.
so many helpless
critters just looking for love
in all the wrong spots.
many thanks, HeatherGarden State was a cool flick
pets loved, lost, honored
kids' special stuffieshow can a dog resist them
when they're just his size?
LOL, SarahI just read your great Haiku
about a pet's fart
(We call them "toots" in our family--still works)
I say toots as wellBut farts sounds much funnier
But stinks equally
You meant "Butt stinks equally" right?
cute, tiny puppyasleep in his warm sweater
hand-knit just for him
spunky, playful pup
the cat makes him curious
he wants a playmate
cat, soft and furry
won't play with the new puppy
but will eat his food
Job, Max, Skye, Merlin
Code, Zoey, Lodi, Kiki
We have lots of pets
Code, Zoey, Lodi, Kiki

I hope you don't mind I posted one for all the pets I ever had. :o]Sad, nameless goldfish
all met a similar fate
and tear swept farewell.
Oh! My tin-foil barbs
A short trip from A-to-D
“A-OK” to “Dead”
Zebra fish Harry
no goldfish-like end for him
The catfish dined well
Curly, white Mitzi
Constant childhood friend, at times
my one and only
Ode to Magpie, Max
Had my brother not fed you
that small ball-bearing...
Dear sweet Penny-girl
We thought we had rescued you
but your past shadowed
My Burnt Marshmallow
My highland Scottish boy-oh
Sleep sweet my Buddy
Our “Goofy Newfie”
Vinny ran when Buddy died
I dream him happy
We called him “Ikers”
He cared for Mom when all the
boys had grown and gone
I was his pack-mate
Golden Mojo knew my heart
and took parts with him
Our sunny Maya
slept with her nose in our shoes
What a ditzy girl
Han “Solo”, scoundrel
of our obscure galaxy
How you make me laugh
What is in a name
A trickster is black Loki
He only fakes dumb
Licker, clawer fierceI sit high on kneeling roofs
Soft green eyes watching
My cat knows somethingI don’t. Full belly, purring.
A Buddha with claws.

lol, ur dog?
mine leaves bones too
ick, theyre all slimy
Oh Cinda my friendThough you were in a shelter
I'm the one rescued
A cat's a cat,
a dog's a dog,
and man's a beast.
a dog's a dog,
and man's a beast.
And culture is dead,
and so is your effing cat
if it shits here
and so is your effing cat
if it shits here
Cats and witches.
Cats are familiar.
Cats are friendly.
Cats are familiar.
Cats are friendly.

This one really stood out to me. You write really interesting haiku!
a dog’s feet are likethe oddly familiar smell
of buttered popcorn
Shadows cross the grass Silent dogs & quiet neighbors:
I fetch the shovel.
enchantress, you've left your bone
in my shoe again.
