The Week in a Blink
This is not a literal poem as you might be thinking. There have been no puppy accidents for at least two days. She’s getting much better at not peeing in the house and she hasn’t pooped in the house for weeks. Was that TMI?

“Forgive the dead year. Forgive yourself. What will be wants To push through your fingers.” ~ Marge Piercy, “The head of the year” Forgive yourself… Isn’t [s]he the hardest person to forgive of all? I’m still waiting for her to make amends The future is not ours to see or to make or to bend…
Writing a poem today was a struggle, which may be evident. Usually I just throw out whatever comes into my head, only feeling the need for slight changes. But this one came out awkward, the cadence and message lost. I’m blaming this on the dreariness and demands of the day. All the creatures were feeling…
Time in a Mug So far this morning I have poured boiling water Into my mug’s gaping mouth Rather than the French Press Where freshly ground coffee Awaited I have set the timer On the microwave Rather than actually Running the thing I have placed Honey into the frig Rather than back On it’s shelf…
Finally! A real Minnesota blizzard! I’ve missed these things. Fortunately, I bought a new toy last weekend, a power shovel, in an attempt to save my shoulders and back. It may look little, but it works pretty darn slick, like a snowblower but small enough to do stairs and decks. I can’t take credit for…
Both dogs went to the vet this morning. Java just needed a heartworm test and to get her nails clipped (as long as we were there). Latte had her third round of puppy shots, plus Bordatella because I hope to put Latte in doggy daycare a couple days a week starting next week. That should…
I took Friday off last week with the intention that I was going to do some writing, work on my blog, edit a bunch of photos I haven’t had time to deal with, and read some other people’s blogs. Did I actually do any of those things? Of course not. I arrived at the barn…

I think Java is quite fitting name!!! All that energy comes through loud and clear. My favorite pic is the one where the two stars have their mouths full!
Once again..another great poem sweetie!
God bless and have a great evening!!!
Boy did I blow that with the names!!!
Sorry!
Love the play photos. Sorry that you’re so exhausted. Puppies exhaust me… even when I have all the time in the world for them. But, their cuteness more than compensates.
I hope that you get some rejuvenation this weekend.
Coffee Beans?
TGIF…Enjoy your weekend.
The photos of the doggies, each with something to drag out and play with…FUNNY!
The poem…a tightly worded description of exhaustion…love it…and can relate.
The sculpture…hmmm…the Walker might like it though : )
Great poem. 🙂 I share your exhaustion today. It took all I had not to take a nap at my desk. The pics of the pups are adorable.
Sounds like you’re on a roll with the housebreaking. That last picture looks like something pretty fancy for puppy fodder. LOL
Great shots….again. Java and Latte seem so happy together.
Your puppy shots are precious! I bet you are laughing a lot at all the playfulness.
And your sculpture needs a more accurate name:
Adirondack Pit Toilet
lol!

I just realized you named the new pup Latte. And I was just going to suggest that name. Or, did I already? lol!
I have a mini-mancha goat named Latte, too. 🙂
