| one of our dogs, Puck |
Like a pink party blower
uncoiled in a puff of warm air
his tongue escapes its cage
of little white barbs
Unfurling against my face
it rubs my skin
again
and
again
until wet becomes
a fine sandpaper
A dog's kiss
pure sloppy guileless

Those kisses so good...love the picture of Puck :)
ha...yes pups have a particular way of kissing..my cat does too...she crawls up my chest and chews on my beard...nice verse...
i have saved many a turtle in my day as well...smiles.
Unconditional love! Can't beat that.
Puck! You're so cuuute!
I love doggy kisses. I even get them from a couple of the dogs on my route. :-)
yeah it is rather sloppy but usually just to quench the need to be given attention and sure beats drool..haha...beautiful dog too.
Hi, Im new to your blog. Likes this poem, I hate dog kisses though. lolz :)
a cat person myself, but I can, appreciate this, sandpaper kisses and all
A dog kiss... Wet and sloppy. And sincere. You will never be kissed with such vigor. I know. I have three. One looks a lot like yours.
haha...dogs love with all their heart and their tongue...smiles...brought back some memories to the dog i had when i was a teenager..
Yeah, I love dogs too. Sadly due to circumstances, I am without a dog these days, but reading this bought me some happy memories I just had to smile at.
Our little dog DJ doesn't do kisses. She just uses her nose like a battering ram or a baseball bat. And usually in places you don't want it or least expect it.
Honk!!!
aww, so sweet!! Love my dogs (and my cat too!)
