    Great photo, Edwina!

    Marvelous Haiku, Richard!

    Such talent abounds here in Pet Talk! What a treat.
    I'm sometimes asked "Why do you spend so much of your time and money talking about kindness to animals when there is so much cruelty to men?" I answer: "I am working at the roots." -George T. Angell, reformer (1823-1909)



    Thank you, Popcornbird for creating this tribute to Summer starring Livvy and Cassy

    Livvy: 11 April 99 - 5 July 09
    Cassy: 11 July 99 - 8 April 11

    my cat is my friend
    until he decides to knock
    stuff off of the shelf


    cold morning warm cat
    sleeping on top of my feet
    can life be better?

    i would rather clean
    10 litterboxes than to
    deal with mean people

    my cat is pure white
    which makes it easy to tell
    when he gets dirty

    Richard you're great. I like especially the last one. I will try some this weekend. I feel I just cannot do it in between... (especially not in a foreign language)

    Edwina is just enjoying the weekend comics. She could not possibly be disturbing your reading . She knows the best part of the newspaper.She has that "why are you disturbing my reading" look on her face.

    OMG! These were great and so true!! I especially liked the 2nd one.

    Hmmm...I'll have to see if I can come up with some haikus to add to this thread, but I'm better at the limericks... LOL

    thanks..

    you all can do it!


    just remember 5-7-5 (syllables per line), be abstract and
    have fun...

    my scientist cat
    knows that a falling object
    gets me out of bed

    hey, that looks real good
    my wet nose goes in your plate
    ugh, you eat that stuff?

    oh my, cat haiku!
    you are far more talented
    fixing me dinner

    You go Richard! These are great! I bet we could take all the heartwarming stories and all of the poetry and make a Best of Pet Talk stories and poems book. I think it would be a good seller for all those pet-loving people out there!

    Have you ever submitted anything to Pet Warmers Richard?

    For Gabe, in the thread about his first Vermont snow:

    What is that cold stuff?
    Yes, I've luxurious fur
    But I'm not stupid!

    What evil lurks there?
    Frozen, white, wet on my paws ...
    Quick! Shut the porch door!

    Oh you nasty folk
    Laughing at feline distress ...
    I shed on you all.
