Dog lies on the couch –
head down, chin on paws, he stares
at a tennis ball.

Bag of tennis balls –
lime green orbs in plastic bag
tempt the dog Skeeter.

Dog plops down and snorts –
brown eyes stare at me as I
try to ignore him.

Dog lies at my feet –
periodically looks up,
sighs — ever hopeful.

Skeeter’s overjoyed –
days at the kennel seem long
when you miss your home.

Dog stands at the fence –
tail wagging, looking hopeful –
neighbor ignores him.

Insatiable dog
cries and whines — wants to go out –
wants to fetch more sticks.

Sitting on the porch –
dog stands near, watching the cars
that travel Main Street.

The dog loves the sun –
finds the sun spot on the floor
and flops on his side.

Dog licks me ev’ry
time he sees me — his greeting –
wish he wouldn’t, though.
