Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ I was a curiosity to these dogs at Shoreham, Mornington Peninsula

Totally Optional Prompts ~ Three Dogs
~
DOG A: I refuse to bark at you ~
But don't think you can slip by
My intense
Curiosity ~
Please note
That tightly wired mesh on
My gate is
There for a reason ~
Your safety
~
DOG B: I may look like the rear guard ~
My careless
Seated pose is just
The role I play ~
My personal Dog Plan B is
Ready for action ~
Keep your eyes on my eyes and
Keep walking
~
Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ My faithful dog that has travelled with me from a home in Sydney, to Tasmania and now to the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria
~
SOPHOCLES: I am a gentle, weighty giant
Zealously guarding the spirits of home
Wherever that may be ~
I have travelled many worlds and
My beauty is flaking
Just a little ~
But I will be there
Always
For as long as she wants
To keep my soul
Alive
~
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Great post...had me smiling!
I am a great dg lover so appreciated this post!
The terriers are lovely.
Greetings from New York.
Love this dog post!
Paz
made me smile too!
Really enjoyed those. And that last dog was very good.
Love the point of view you took here!
Lovely to meet what is obviously a much loved companion in that last picture and poem!
Oh, how nifty! Gotta love it - the dialog is great!
The first two look like cute bundles of fluff - from a safe distance. The third looks like it's had a few adventures of its own. You can't beat a good 'solid' companion.
those are great gemma... having a dog and a walker too you have to hit on the dog's voice... it's as if they wait just for a passerby to bark or communicate with.. some bark like crazy and others just sit and watch.. never stops amazing me.. and then the watch dog at your door, those last two lines are beautiful...
I liked the last poem but it was sorta sad in a way. Like the only reason he lives is because his owner chooses him to live. I guess that is the same for all of our hopes and dreams...our hopes live as long as we make the actual choice to keep them alive.
I wrote three poems for this prompt but I posted them in three different posts... Dogs of War, Two Pets and My Dog Tom
