Happy Halloween Eve!
I am a pope, and Jean’s a nun
Brownie’s a cop without a gun
Raven’s a freaking astronaut
Linc isn’t cool with what he’s got
We may not have scary costumes
But as the kids ride witches brooms
To our front door to get their treat
Our neighbors must accept defeat
We have the best house on the block
And Charlie Brown still got a rock

Ditty for a doggie – Brownie Bear
He sits around like he just don’t care
That chromatic canine – Brownie Bear
He’ll eat your house into disrepair
A cast iron stomach – Brownie Bear
His policies are quite laissez faire
That political pooch – Brownie Bear
The backyard’s covered with his back hair
He’s a hirsute hounddog – Brownie Bear
He makes the room reek of derrière
That foul-smelling fido – Brownie Bear
Empty noggin, at a wall he’ll stare
Thick headed, tail wagger – Brownie Bear

How Brownie sees the world
It’s the greatest day ever
It’s the greatest day since yesterday
It’s the greatest day ever
Throw the ball to me I want to play
It’s the greatest day ever
I can’t wait until I get to eat
It’s the greatest day ever
I’ve been good so please give me a treat
It’s the greatest day ever
Here’s that toy that you let me borrow
It’s the greatest day ever
I’m super happy ’bout tomorrow!

Not so haute haiku
The door was open
Brownie ate Jean’s nice new shoes
I’m in the doghouse

Don’t mess with Brownie
Took the dogs out for a walk
Didn’t get around the block
Stupid dogs a few doors down
Charged at Brownie – made him frown
So he opened up his maw
And he smacked them with his paw
Sent them off with one last growl
Raven joined in with a howl
Tomorrow we’ll try once more
Hope their parents lock the door

No train no gain
Brownie likes to chew on stuff
But we feel he’s chewed enough
I’ll distract him with a bone
So he won’t destroy my phone
When I put away my shoe
He’ll have one less thing to chew
When I put away my socks
He may start to chew on rocks
If he doesn’t chew our sheets
He will get a walk and treats
If we train him to obey
He will get a walk each day

How do most dog stories end?
I hope Brownie learns
He has no more turns
Books are for reading
They’re not for eating

It’s a dog eat book world
Shredded paper on the ground
From what used to be a book
Culprit’s fur is chocolate brown
Know he’s guilty from that look

Fighting the SADs
Sitting next to the fire
In my bedroom attire
On the longest night of the year
With my two dogs and my cat
I’m extremely thankful that
All the nights are shorter from here

Bedtime for bozos
Raven and Brownie normally roil
But when exposed to essential oil
They essentially roll up and snore
Essence of oil is all we hoped for

Have a groovy Halloween
Raven is a bumble bee
Her tail stings so viciously
Brownie is a dinosaur
His mouth is hard to ignore
Linc does not have a costume
Dressing him would spell our doom

At least they’re super cute
I was clean, but now I’m not
Brownie sneezed, and out came snot
Raven covered me with fur
Linc just likes to knead and purr
While he drenches me with drool
Having pets makes me a fool
140701
And he has a wiggle butt
Brownie’s head is quite immense
And it’s also pretty dense
Plus he really likes to chew
At least his heart is big too

I have a dumb green thumb
Last night we planted some trees
A new place for birds and bees
To make a home or sight see
Tonight we planted again
Because our dogs are a pain
They had uprooted a tree
Tomorrow we’ll run away
While the dogs will have to stay
And plot their next digging spree
140611
Melt your face
I think that two dogs means
Twice as many dog farts
I’ve never fed them beans
But this smell’s off the charts
