In and Out
The Lapdog
Dogs that stand outside and seek admittance to within
overlook the worth of what they’ve seen and where they’ve been.
Those of us sealed fast inside yearn to see the world
that we have been deprived of as we lie securely curled
in the safety of our houses, away from chasing cars
and other fun activities kept from us by bars.
We would feel such ecstasy racing after squirrels,
other dogs and cats and lizards, skunks and boys and girls.
We seek to flee the rules that those street dogs seem to flout.
We would have such wild adventures if we only could get out!!
The Street Dog
Lucky little dogs with collars sit there looking out
as though they do not know what life for street dogs is about.
We’d love to have their pampering and their daily feeding.
What they seek escape from is exactly what we’re needing!

Another wonderful pictures of an eyeless scottie 🙂 Morrie’s looking good!
Our dogs would last an hour or less on the street. They are not meant for the mean streets. They are meant for the warm lap 🙂

But you couldn’t convince Morrie of that. He escapes every chance he gets and does not come back when called!!!!!

Very beautifully described the contrast of two lives. Lapdogs are so lucky to have humans like you folks. Street life is just not for them. It is the survival of the fittest. Both the pictures are so good.
