Man’s Best Friend’s Entertaining Antics

On By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Haiku, Photography30 Comments

Ever since Copper became a member of our family,
squirrels have become the “bane of my existence!”
He shows tremendous confidence in being able
to catch the fast little critters, but to no avail.

feeling so close, yet so far
there’s hope for next time

 High up in the sky

looking down as if to smile

they always prevail

(but Copper also shares mellow moments
where he breathes in the beauty around him)

The enjoyment and fun our furry pets provide us
is priceless and worth a million smiles…

Copper’s Canine Cogitations

On By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Poetry40 Comments

Just pet me and love me is all I really ask
I know it’s not such a difficult task
for when you focus on my amber eyes
the love I show is no surprise
You get a big smile when you rub my tummy
‘cuz all the attention is really yummy
You’ve taught me well when it comes to heeling
but I can’t help if squirrels are so appealing
I sit, I stay and lie down on command and
can’t wait for my treat out of your loving hand
I know sometimes on our walks I’m a handful
From now on, I’ll do my best and try not to pull
Big, strong labs don’t often get mushy
but I’ll say one thing that might be gushy
If you didn’t adopt me on that special day
I don’t know how I’d feel…happy or afraid
So, my family, to you I offer my paw and
I’m very grateful you chose me to be your dog ♥

Happy 1 Year Adoption Anniversary, Copper ♥ Limerick

On By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Life, Limericks, Pets35 Comments

Copper has been a great addition to our family
and it took less than minutes for him to melt our hearts.
He’s strong and has tested us, but he is so loving,
that we’re still amazed at how he acts and the things he does.

There once was a strong chocolate lab
his loving ways were simply fab
His color was unique
here are photos for a peek
his personality was far from drab

007

He loves chewing on his nylabones
and they’re the strongest to endure his choppers!

One of his favorite pastimes, besides watching squirrels
in the tree-house, is sunbathing!

Hugs a Plenty

On By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Inspirational, Mommy Years49 Comments

Someone needs a hug

if you look real close

wearing a smile upside down

in need of a big love dose

Revealing a long wide frown

it just might be you

to brighten their day

and bring their spirits around

They might be too shy

to ask you face to face

so it’s up to you

to offer with grace

Share some warmth

the cost is nil

but the gift is big

in a simple embrace

I’m not sure if the kitty was happy,
but I know my son was thrilled
(15 years ago)
and he was definitely sharing
a warm embrace~  🙂

Wishing you all a Wonderful Wednesday!
