Description
The poems range from the light-hearted subjects of the antics of the author's beloved pets, to more reflective topics, as in the need for nature conservation, or thoughts about living life that is true to one's self, and to the needs of others.
This book touches the inner core of all of us, and is a fun, and sometimes thought-provoking collection of poems. In a day and age where life is so technologically-oriented and fast-paced, it is nice to know that the art of poetry still exists...where the beauty and play of words can touch people and make them smile.

Little Angels
Over the course of my lifetime, I have had numerous pets—primarily cats and dogs. For me, and countless other people around the world, these pets are like my children.
I think of them as such, and I treat them as such, too. In fact, anyone who knows me, knows that I am crazy about animals, and am a staunch animal lover—both domestic as well as wildlife.
It has been said that pets take after their owners. And I must say that in thinking back about the past pets I’ve had, and comparing myself to those that I currently have, I find that I do have a lot of similarities with them—in personal characteristics; facing new things; needing encouragement and support; and in needing love and nurturing. Of course, everything that I’ve identified here are things that all humans need.
Precious little angels
God sends our way
With four paws and whiskers
To brighten our days
With wagging tails
And eyes full of love
They give to us so much
As God does from above
They guard and protect us
Give comfort and stand true
Such faithful, loyal friends as they
Are scarce, and oh, so few
Their barks make us laugh
Their meows bring a smile
They leave paw prints on our hearts
No matter their breed or style
Their capacity to give unconditional love
Is most admirable—Isn’t it a pity?
Why can’t human beings be
More like these dogs and kitties?
’Tis all mankind, who from them, can learn
A thousand lessons, to be sure
For these small packages by our side
Are God’s little angels in fur!
A Rottweiler Rhyme
This is how I came to own a sweet little Rottweiler-mix dog…
Just a little ol’ Rottweiler
Short and stout
A sixty-five pounder
In weight, there, just about
She used to be lonely
Unloved and alone
How she longed for attention
And a place to call her own
She used to roam the neighborhood
Even slept in the streets
And on many a neighbor’s front porch
A vigil she did keep
In the little white lawn chair
At my own front door
She would often climb up and settle
To sleep and sometimes snore
In the middle of the road
She would sometimes stand
Hoping as cars slowly inched past her
For a gentle loving hand
A beautiful Rottweiler-mix was she
The neighbors all agreed
But, I already have a dog
Or some other reason, they would plea
As
