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!

Excuse me?
Is the weather report really of
more importance than my words?
It will repeat in a few moments,
I may not.
Why must you cut me off
mid-sentence
so that you may
call out the answer
to your game show?
You are not listening
to what I have to say.
When confronted,
you deny,
make excuses.
Do you not realize how worthless
you make me feel?
Do you not see that you are
driving me away--
driving me within?
Perhaps I should take my leave.
You would never notice,
the weather report is on.
