Furry family members – Baydreamer Writes ~ Lauren Scott, Author

During this blog tour, I’m going to be repeating myself a million times, but thanks again to Mike for a beautiful and compassionate post that expresses how much our dogs (pets) mean to us. Even though my family anticipated the fateful day when Copper would cross over the rainbow bridge, especially, because he was inching towards 15 years old, that day still came too soon. Sigh. I’ve turned off comments, so I hope you’ll visit Mike at his wonderful site. He is an amazing writer of poetry that evokes all emotions. I hope you’ll take time to get to know him, and all of my friends who are helping me spread the word about this very special book that speaks about a very special chocolate lab mix. 🤎❤️

Copper Boy

When he trots around on his long legs,
he carries eighty pounds of love.
And those amber eyes see right into
our souls.

When he smiles, his white choppers
shine as if they’ve never caused
any commotion…never mind
the afternoon when he attempted
to eat the barbecue!

When he hears a knock on the door,
his bark echoes across the Golden Gate,
along the marina into San Francisco.
Out of protection? Sure.
But mostly from excitement.

A social butterfly
sporting a Labrador costume,
that’s what he is…
freely passing out his affection,
assuming everyone loves
his slobbery kisses.

But he has a selfish side,
rolling over onto his back,
expecting a belly rub.
And who are we to deny his wishes?
And his ears, like feeling silk
between our fingers.
We can’t get enough.

How amazing to know his love
comes unconditionally.
To know he doesn’t waste minutes
worrying about world events
or whether the pandemic is here to stay.
And he is never one to judge.

He just loves in his simple way,
and we love him back.
And that is simply enough.
