early morning thunderstorms—
the dog jumps in our bed.

Phoebe wags her tail
and licks my hand while I type…
my canine coauthor.

In the morning, before the sun, we listen to the coyotes. Joey cocks his ears to the wild howling of a language he’s never known.

Coyotes—
their pre-dawn yipping
stops us cold.

Velvet starry skies—
I walk the dogs more slowly
on these winter nights.

(They don’t mind.)

The dogs stop to sniff
each blade of grass. I look up
and wander the stars.

The dogs pace.
The hour of the bone
is at hand.

Good digging—
all day, wiping mud
from dog feet.

After dark on a wet evening,
two tired missionaries stop
so they can pet my dogs.
Rain pops on black umbrellas.
