SPANIEL
Sharp hearing
She knows that firm pace
No need for
Front door chime
Jumps into her master’s arms
It’s her favourite place

Love the feeling your poem creates. My cravings for a baby dog . NOT A PUPPY . are strong. The force is with me. A carriage to walk her in . my present fantasy . snuggling up close on my place of being . my bed . desk . place of creativity & sleep & entertainment. My Amazon parrot Saki is my buddy. I snuggle with her like she is a DOG. She guards over me when I am not so well . sitting vigil. she barks like a dog (our terrier Chaucer taught her that while she was still alive . but alas she is gone now & was our last DOG) . I miss a dog’s wanting to be with you . cats I adore but the relationship is maddeningly on the cat’s terms. It can drive one INSANE. 😺🎶🏳🌈⚡❣☔ 🌎😂🌍🐶🐾🐩👣

I know what you mean about the difference between cats and dogs. I like both, but in different ways. 🙂 I imagine a parrot is different again.

Saki our Amazon Parrot does fly & is completely satisfied to stay in the living room. My right shoulder is her means to travel anywhere else on the first floor. Not her fav thing to do . leaving the living room to travel into other rooms . she loves sitting on my shoulder . prefers the right always . right hand also. She is out all day once I get up and goes to bed when Shawn does. She is my best bud & a good listener. I stroke the top of her feathers and as well. It’s not an area that get much attention. She loves it when I turn her upside down . hold her in my arms and gently scratch & stroke her feathers . She loves it. Sometimes she will flip herself into my hands. We share a great deal of trust. When we received her she was 8 yrs old and not handled much at all. It took a long time to build a trust enough to slightly touch her beak. As you tell by what I’ve written the trust between us has grown exponentially. I love her and I need to stay alive into my 100s to be here for her. She’s 30 and that’s less than half her life . the Goddesses & spirits protect Saki & all of us. No one else could take care of her. She & I are Soul Mates . You know what I mean. 👋⚡❣
