she misses you mr. D

She cries for you every night.
if i could fly, i would fly in through your window while you sleep
and whisper in your ear that she is sincere.
i would tell you that it is okay to be scared, but, it is better to be brave.
you don't have to be brave like her, but cast off the hermit shell.

she needs you, she's tired and doesn't want to cry anymore
but, just because she might stop saying it, doesn't mean she has stopped loving you.

she needs you

you think you are too damaged to be any good, but we are all damaged,
and sometimes she doesn't always want to be the strong one.
she doesn't want to do battle with what feels like the entire universe, just to prove to you that she is really real.

i am just a dog, i cannot fly, and i cannot whisper,
but, i am a dog, and i do not like to see my humans suffering when they could be happy instead.

she loves you, her love is forever, don't let it be in vain.

mommy baby picture day, by jupiterpuppy

today, i went to the hudson river with mommy and her friend david, he takes pictures.
mommy put on a dress and tall shoes and painted her face (sometimes she likes to paint her face, sometimes she doesn't). it was so hot and sunny out, and i got to lay in the sun. the river was scary though, there is a fence but i was afraid to go too close, what if i fell in? i am not a swimmer.
mommy is brave, she would stand right near the fence and even lean on it, i didn't really like that.

there were lots of other dogs there, because it is a park and it is a fun place for dogs to walk with their mommies and daddies and meet other dogs. there were also a lot of things to smell, and that is good, because dogs like to smell things.

i like mommy's friend david, he pets me and tells me i'm good and he takes my pictures, he also always has good stories to tell because, he always meets interesting people.

my life by jupiterpuppy

i wake up in the morning and everyone in the house says hello to me and tells me how cute i am. they ask me if i slept well and they pet me. i get to go lay in a sunbeam with the cat, when i get bored with that, or when it gets too hot, i go to my box bed and shove my blanket around until it is a wad, and then i lay down on it. in my bed i have stuffed toys, they are small and i get to cuddle them and pretend they're babies. some dogs beat up their baby toys and that's not very nice. maybe they would beat up their babies too.
mommy asks me if i am hungry and mommy asks me if i need to go potty. usually hungry means i get kibble, my kibble is yummy, but sometimes hungry means i get chicken or fish or beef. i usually get some of those meats at least once a day, sometimes it is a lot and it is my whole meal, sometimes it's just a snack. usually potty means we walk around the block and i get to smell the flowers and sniff everything. mommy doesn't rush me to find my perfect spot, even if it is raining or snowing (i like rain and snow). i like to poop. i pick my perfect spot to make my poop, and then mommy always puts it in a bag, i don't know why she does that. i need to find a spot so perfect mommy will leave it there. finding a spot to pee pee is even harder. it has to be even more perfect and sometimes i think i've found it, and then i realize it's not perfect enough because an even more perfect spot is next to it. it is hard to pee pee in the right spot.

sometimes mommy asks me if i want to go shopping, and i always say yes.
shopping means i get to go into places where strangers tell me i'm pretty and pet me and fawn over me. i like that. before i lived with mommy, people were only ever mean to me, and yelled at me or hit me. mommy doesn't let anyone do that, she only introduces me to nice people. there are so many nice people in the city were mommy took me to live. no body hits me here. my favorite place to go shopping is TJ Maxx because they have baby blankets there, and if i beg really nicely mommy buys me a baby blanket. i love soft blankets. i also like it there because the ladies at the jewelry counter are very nice to me. sometimes mommy also takes me to the gap. there is a man there with his hand out to pet me, he never moves though and every time i go to his hand mommy laughs at me and says he's not real. he looks real and he's always wearing new clothes, so i don't know how she can say he's not real. she calls him a man kin or something like that. i don't know what kind of man is a "kin" but he always has his hand out to pet me.

i also have an uncle, he is fun, he tries to do things to make me mad, sometimes he pretends to get electrocuted, sometimes he plays ugly notes on his musical instrument, one has strings and one has teeth you press. usually he makes nice music and it makes me happy. sometimes he says words i do not like to annoy me. i love him any way though. he plays tag with me and does agility tricks with me, i jump from the floor to some pillows to the couch and stuff like that and he likes that. sometimes when he is at his desk, i tap him so he can pet me, because he looks bored and needs to pet me so he won't be bored. i like to sit on his lap and sometimes the cat gets jealous and then we both sit on his lap.

i like to visit grandma and grandpa in their room. i watch tv with them and they tell me i'm cute and they pet me and tell me they love me. i am not allowed on their bed, because grandma says no fur on the bed. but the cat goes on there and it's not fair grandpa says. grandma doesn't know that he lets me on the bed when she's not home. mostly i go to their room to watch tv with grandma.

at the end of the day it is my bedtime and i learned from the cat how to push the bedroom door open with my head, then i go to bed. sometimes mommy asks me to snuggle with her in her bed, but i have my own bed. sometimes i think mommy can't sleep so i lay with her and then when she is asleep i go to my own bed to sleep. i like my bedroom bed. it also has a blanket like the living room box bed.

i have a good life with mommy, not like with my old owners they were not nice, but mommy is very nice to me. and now i have many friends.
