Omnivore

Here's a lighter poem (mostly) about our dog Snuffles.  Today we head off to New York City for the week, and I'm curious to see if I can keep writing.

                                                              

                                   Omnivore

                                    Dry dog food was enough for years.

                                    Then the vet suggested shredded

                                    cheese with the morning meal.

                                    Snuff’s coat glowed, but

                                    she began to nose aside

                                    her cheeseless supper,

                                    so we added some liver treats.

                                    That seemed to satisfy her

                                    until our daughter slipped her

                                    some steak, and now Snuff disdains

                                    her bowl completely, sitting

                                    by the dinner table, staring at

                                    our sirloin- and then at us.
