A Parting "Poem"

A quick offering to the link-up at Poets & Storytellers United...


With particular delight in this previously posted poem:


On What Should Have Been Done Before the Birth of All Those Unwanted Beagles We Were Talking About This Morning

Some prefer "altered" but I like to
call a spayed a spayed.

I know. Grooooaaannnn! Please scroll down to see the beaglets. Three faces represent three litters of a total of fourteen beagle pups. The New York page alone shows almost four hundred.

Here is a bonus beagle: Paz from Lenoir, North Carolina. Sadly, this pretty puppy seems to have fallen into the hands of control freaks...or maybe a "foster family" who really like her? If you don't want to jump through all of their hoops, no worries, as they mention, dozens of other puppies need homes.

    1. The thing about doing those weekly pet photo contests is that there are dozens, if not hundreds, like that. I hope more than only the ones whose pictures I've picked can find homes. Sharing the pictures helps! Thank you for visiting.
