Hug-a-Dog Pet Care

Cooper

"The New Dog"
Into the gravity of my life,
the serious ceremonies
of polish and paper
and pen, has come

this manic animal
whose innocent disruptions
make nonsense
of my old simplicities—

as if I need him
to prove again that after
all the careful planning,
anything can happen.
~ Linda Tristan

Lakota

A fine flock of feathered finches at Villa Espanola.
