TRY IT AND LOSE

It’s not easy looking  at this wide-eyed canine,

seen with his owner, our son Nathaniel.

Try to catch Gizmo blinking before you do.

He’ll stare you down knowing  full well you’ll

do it before he does.

The  young thirty-pound French bulldog likes

 likes nothing better than knowing you ‘ll blink well

before he does.

        I asked our son Nathaniel his owner, if there is

anything odd about him other than staring at us without  

so much as a blink.

        Nathaniel doesn’t hesitate  saying his dog loves

blueberries. That’s next to his greatest thrill : chasing

autumn leaves no matter where they fall. Or stretched

out as close as possible to a blazing fire in the fireplace.

Writer’s comment:  I know no other pooch, including 

our own German Shepherd whose favorite meal is,

 drum roll, a bowl of fresh, picked blueberries.

I’ll swear Rebelle breaks into a grin when she realizes

Gizmo is coming to visit.

WHATS IN A HEADLINE.

This may sound  goofy but I spend off-moments   looking at  headlines in newspapers, magazines. At one time I had to write them myself....

SOCK IT TO ME

You can't go sockless throughout the whole year, at least where I live.                             My socks came off back in mid-June....
