I sit by the fire —
dog stares at me, willing me
to give up the chair.

Dog sits behind me
in the Green Chair — when I stand
she throws a sly smile.

Threw the frisbee far–
Finch took off, got there in time.
Snatched it from the air.

A thud behind me.
The pup dropped a tennis ball
to tempt me to play.

Finch zips in and out
of the dog door, a new toy
each time. “Play with me?”

Looked down in the yard
and, poking out of the dirt,
was my sock. Oh, dog.

Dog nudges herself
close to my side. Slight winter
chill runs through the house.

I lie in bed and
miss Skeeter. February —
our month of sadness.

Dog and I slip and
slide along the icy walk.
Real fear of falling.
