Happy Gotcha Day, Monk!

…my memory wandered back to the summer evenings — not so very long ago, perhaps, if one but adds up the years, but a long, long while ago if one measures Time by feeling… ~Jerome K. Jerome, English writer and humorist, Novel Notes, 1893

You’re
A true
Paradox.
Funny? Oh, yes.
Challenging? For sure.
But life would be diff’rent
Had you not come to stay here
With me five years ago this month.
You’ve cost me money, chewed up your toys,
Thrown up on my rugs, barked at all noises.

But everything can be redeemed, can’t it?
Despite a rough puppyhood, you’ve grown
And become an adult Sheltie
Anyone could be proud of.
I think you’re here to stay!
Happy Gotcha Day
To my Monkey.
I love you,
Silly
Boy!

Note: Poetry form is Double Etheree. Monkey’s Gotcha Day is Feb. 20, 2021 (yes, he’s a Pandemic Puppy!)

Anyone can catch your eye, but it takes someone special to catch your heart. ~Author unknown

You’ve been here for two years now,
My mischievous little pup.
And surely in all those weeks and months,
You’ve had opportunity to grow up.

What did mama tell you
About stealing papers you can reach,
And promptly tearing them to tiny bits
While waiting for her to screech?

Gotcha Day!

You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give. ~Kahlil Gibran, Lebanese-American writer, poet, and visual artist

Happy first Gotcha Day Anniversary to my favorite Monkey!
