Join the forum discussion on this topic!When it comes to dogs and the people who love them,words cannot describe how thankful we are for having our furry companions and their humans in our lives. Thank. You. So. Much.
Our friend Eve just sent her incredible Thanksgiving poem to us. Nothing more beautifully expresses the love we all share for the canine species. We hope you enjoy this as much as we do.
“north above tree line
between snow slow thaw
glacier scoured ground
mating season
nips, lips grazing muzzles
bed
far from looking eyes
limbs entwined genitals so
closely clasped the pair
unmoves until swelling ceases
breath quiets in earthen cavity
of home
squirming young a pound more or
less of defenseless flesh
blind, deaf able only to breathe
suck from teats
patient eyed splayed on one side
mother a sweet shelf of warmth and
food her teeth cut cord and sac
noses them to nurse
food spit to hungry mouths
offspring learn
play, fight hunt elders
know skills are sure
young depart walking ley lines
encoded in time”
