Getting Acquainted
I spend most of my time playing alpha female for my pack of dogs. Lucy (Boston terrier), Harley (chihuahua). Hershey (miniature dachshund) and Jasper (standard schnauzer) are my entertainment and sometimes muses. Jasper is a puppy mill rescue dog and I'm in the intital stages of writing a series of vignettes of his life since the rescue contrasted with eduaction about rescues and puppy mills. I do actually have other interests than writing and my dogs. I love to scrapbook, watch ice hockey, listen to a variety of music genres and reading. My parents both were avid readers and passed that love on to me. I'll read a cereal box if you set it in front of me!
Cowgirl Attitude
Cowgirl Attitude

Tight weave straw,
no girly color here--
attitude black.
Brim--sides curved up,
back and front bent down--
not for protection from
the elements, but to
keep wearer in
mysterious shadow.
No bling or conchos
encircling the crown.
Self-killed rattlesnake
wrapped tight--
mouth wide open
exposing fangs--
stay back!
Rattle curves down
back of brim--
beware!
Innocent straw
transformed.
