fluffy paws, little one,
quietly peering over tables,
a soft black nose and inquisitive eyes,
emerging from nooks and protective dens.

i see my innerpup reflected in you,
and my heart is stung and sore.
unearthing puppy hurts,
those angry knots that laid
hidden and heavy
as life permeated through.

your unjudging eyes and tranquil breaths,
the gentle weight of your furry being,
slowly,
softly,
peacefully,
soften those stones,

and allow my pupheart to be loved,
and let my present
unflinchingly,
colorfully,
boundlessly,
fully,
love
you.

thrash the plush seal!
a game Link and i play
a comical understanding
of the rules underway
he and his muzzle,
me and my mitts
we take the silly plushie
and whip into laughing fits.
when we’re quite through
an ear and belly rub are required
for Link the true little one
a perfect connection, aspired
🦭🐕

little bouncy boy
happy and free
sniffing ‘round the neighborhood
at every peetree
i love watching you study
with the strength of your nose
taking in nuanced information
of all of life’s prose
what do you categorize
with every scent in your field?
your passing furfriends dossier?
and all their nuances revealed?
focused little boy
leading us on your way
never enough time with you
may we have forever blissful days.

shaggy brushed face
deep set dark eyes
you look like a wookie
best hero in disguise
you’re my little champion
and i am truly yours
connection in spirit
two legs and a fours.
centered when i see you
and nourished when beside
in each others presence
we’re heart-emoji eyed
😍🐶

squiggy wiggly fluffs of love
the love of a dog is beyond above
💗

i have so-much-love to give
to you,
sweet link.
that inexplicable
instantaneous
breathtaking
soul bursting
love.
a life’s existence
to me
for
you
☀️

can i just nest with you
and quell cacophonous faces
that dispirit humanity
and sanity.
a simple walk
of eyesmiles and understanding
guiding me back to stillness
with the gentle swishswish of your tail
🎾 🌱

your swept golden hair
like painted waves in a scene
each stroke gently brushed
into the light of your smile
🐾🍃

inquisitive boy
happiness and bouncy, sway
i cherish those times
wholly, heartfully, affectionately
continuously.
🐶 🌱

little little tree bird
resting on the porch
sunlight shines on you
so soft and round
your sweet dark eyes
looking around
slowly, gently, sinking into
momentary peace
🐦

scratchy furry snout
you smile, eyes gleam and content
i understand, love
🐕

my little water soul
did you relish the breeze today?
thought of you at the sea
🐶

i miss scratching behind your ears
and seeing your bliss
that silly pink tongue
and feather duster tail
in perfect metronome
breathing in your content and joy
and filling my own

link and his lake crew
so jolly by the water
twelve little pier paws

teddy bear face
chocolate chip nose
every time i see you
the heart overflows
how did you come to be
with your fluffy little paws
swiping at my feet
when vital playtime calls
your spirit so pure
your prance so dainty
cherished time with you
is a full life’s gaiety
🐾❤️

gentle sniff judgement
kindness quality and warmth
the purest honor
🐾💛

didn’t know what boundless love was
until i met your fuzzy face, trust belly and slobber kisses
your manic spins to grab love pats on your blurry head
and wiggly wiggles disco butt.
your lick attacks and animated pitter pat sprints to me —
is all the peace i need.

i know it’s tired to say who saved whom?
(but isn’t it) a pure truth
the divineness of dogs and all they give
with their warm light and love

to those (everyone) that need healing
and comfort
and how deep those injuries dwell
i am so grateful to knowthinkbe with you
whenever i can
and love you endlessly
in all the worlds
for your unbroken, infinite, gleaming, joyful forcelove.
little link.
