I D I D IT ! ! !

Tuesday night I went to class with Themommy like we do. We got there early and Themommy made me do a lot of the things we were going to do (we do every week). I was happy cuz' I get treats!

So, class starts and we all go in. But there's several gates up and Themommy sits in a chair first. The lady tells us we have 10 tests tonight. I can tell Themommy is nervous, but I don't know why. We're jsut going to play like we always do aren't we? So, Themommy gets up and walks over to one of the gates and tells me to "walking" and I follow her... but there's a new dog and I have to see it! She's not happy.

Anyhow, I passed a couple of the tests and then Themommy tells me I failed one. But If I pass all 9 others, I can retake it. I realize I gotta' concentrate real hard or Themommy is going to be sad. She tells me I can fail, but I want to make her happy. I concentrate real hard and pass the other tests. I wait with the strange lady, I walk beside Themommy and turn left and about and stop and sit, I stay sitting, I stay laying down, I walk through the "crowd" without caring, I walk by the strange doggie and don't even car that the lady walks by with a strange contraption and drops her bag that makes noise. So, back we go the the one I failed. The lady pets me and I stay real still and then she brushes me (I don't like it but I don't move) she puts her hand down and I give her my paw and then she reaches over for my other one. I'm like "Hey I already gave you the other one, stop touching me!" but I don't move and she says "Great that'll work" and guess what?

Themommys is so happy, she said "YOU PASSED!" YIPPY!!!!

I'm a C.G.C.

Of Toes and Socks

Look at those toes
In them yummy socks
A cure to all woes
In them yummy socks

They wiggle
All tickly soft
I giggle
All tickly soft

White or striped or red
With toes inside
On the floor or bed
With toes inside

I simply must bite
And she giggles too
Ever so carefully lite
And she giggles too

Before they go into the shoes
A morning ritual
We play – we two
A morning ritual

Of toes and socks

The Ocean and Sourdough French Bread

Wow, I'm one tired corgi! We just got back from kayaking.

Themommy, Thedaddy and I got up early and Themommy's kayak was already on the car. I got to go too! We took a long ride and I got to sniff all kinds of differnt car air. It was great. Then we stopped at a new place.

Themommy said we were at the Aquatic Park. There were lots of people. They were with a group called Team In Training. They all had black skins on and waved at Themommy. She put her kayak in the water.

It was weird water, it kept chasing me and then running away. I don't know... Themommy put me in the back and she got in and we were on the water!

Wow, it was fun. But the boat kept moving a lot more than normal. She said they were "waves", but waves are what people do when they know you and are saying 'Hi".

Then the people with the black skin (Themommy said that the black skin is called a wet suit - whatever!) Like I need to know all these words, I'm a corgi. Anyhow, they got in the water and swam around us and over and back around us. Themommy said we were making sure they were safe in the water. I was safe because I had on my water-vest, but Themommy said that sometimes people get tired and scared, we were there to be support and chear them on. I cheared a lot.

For all you other doggies out there, Team In Training is really great for a lot of reasons, but two formost. 1. The teach the average person how to do a Triathalon (anybody) and 2. They raise money for cancer research through the Leukemia Foundation.

I fell in once and boy was the water cold, but Themommy got me back on board and I cheared some more. Then we got out and I got to sniff the Streats Of San Francisco. I even got a bite of French Bread when Themommy and Thedaddy stopped for a snack of soup.

It was a good day!

Another poem

I sigh

.

Many years now I've watched you
tinkering away in peeved despair
your fingers blistered
eyes hard
and nothing for me.
But here I lie
my orange coat faded
as neglected as
the patient daisies
that grow in your once palatial garden.
I hear you curse of thieveries
but I have protected your garden and you.
Don't you know the love I would lavish-
wash away our despair
if you would let me -
if you would tinker with me
with your blistered fingers.

Wednesday Inn

It was a sleepy town
when Shadow and I had run
of the streets – safe
even for a kid and her dog.
No one paid much attention
to the barefoot, anima
with the her black dog.
Sitting in the cemetery
on the hill or
slipping though the fence
into the fairgrounds.

Leaving class 'cuz I'd
had enough of the other kids
or sneak over to the place
I knew Doug would be working.
Down to the Smoke Shop
with all my saved coins
for the latest DC issue
after another afternoon
in the principal’s office.

That child is long gone, but as
I walk once familiar streets,
I can’t help the impish smile.
It's dark, my favorite time, and I walk into
the mud shop and meet the girls from Colorado.
-- Zima is a must greet --
Down a little further, I slip into
the crowded, corner Inn for
its weekly open mic, and watch people
warmly welcomed as they enter.

Laughter is pressed against conversations
as familiar and personal musical pieces
elbows their way through the room.
Randy announces the next talent.
I am suddenly that girl of seven and remember
how wonderful it was to live in Calistoga.

A breath of star jasmine waifts.
Is it life that blooms or merely a flower?
Delicately dancing aromatic memories.

. . . so long ago . . .
she was my first as
a breath of star jasmine waifts.

Kisses from a furry, black bundle,
wet nose and wonderful puppy breath,
delicately dancing aromatic memories.

We pant under the Sol,
swimming to cool firey play.
A breath of star jasmine waifts.

Together - such a bond formed.
Summer rain and a wet coat,
delicately dancing aromatic memories.

My best friend and I.
Never alone, night or day.
A breath of star jasmine waifts.
Delicately dancing aromatic memories.

-Bumper sticker quoted by Lynn Schooler

Have you seen my panties?

She and I walk out into the back yard to greet the day
and there they float above in their balloon
looking down their noses at us.
Judging me in my panties and her with her red bangs.
Who the hell do they think they are,
imposing their conventions on us in our own back yard?
My panties are not fancy, but they’re mine.

I have panties that make me feel pretty,
but she loves all of my panties,
parading them around the house, doing her best girly walk.
She makes me feel pretty everyday.
Just to be with her
with her mostly black hair and big, brown eyes,
and her kisses - oh her kisses!

As though anything that belongs to me is precious to her,
and every part of me is her favorite toy.
No matter who’s seen my panties

There is nothing black and white about a Corgi

I got a couple comments about my latest picture. I sit on this couch a lot. I wait for themommy to come home, or I just watch the world go by.

But she's a little mad at me rightnow. You see, I get reall borred when she's not home and I have to find thing to do. The other day I noticed that this chair in the back yard had a tag, so I pulled it and pulled it and the chair's seat got a tiny rip and then it got a little bigger and pretty soon I was having fun. I tore the seat cover up and pulled out all the padding all over the back yard and ran around with it in my mouth and shook it and tore it up some more. It was a lot fun for a while. Then Themommy came home and saw the "mess" - I didn't think there was any mess - and said "What is this?!?" I knew I was in trouble.

I gave her my best sad look and she just shook her head and picked up chair stuffing for a long while.
