I wear the costume
For one day. You pamper me
All year round: seems fair.

2009-09-09T19:04:00.000-07:00

Little hummy birds
Can hear me coming when I
Wear a stupid bell.

2008-12-25T16:51:00.000-08:00

Round, brown, little, short:
No wonder those who know me
Call me Tater Tot.

2008-09-17T12:12:00.001-07:00

Swim my little ones!
For the dog that does not swim
Also gets no cheese.

2008-09-16T12:07:00.000-07:00

Swimming in Lake Mead
Not because I like it, but
Because you made me.

2008-07-30T15:41:00.000-07:00

With my curly tongue
I clean my nose and butt. Next?
That would be your face.

2008-07-14T15:26:00.000-07:00

I may be a dog
but I'm not an animal!
Feed me proper cheese.

2008-07-13T16:02:00.000-07:00

Weigh too much. Can't do

Word or Excel. Still, I'm an

Excellent laptop.

2008-07-02T06:17:00.000-07:00

Little cousin dogs
Have skinny model figures:
For they eat no cheese.

2008-06-20T11:24:00.000-07:00

As big as my head!

A bone like this has to mean

My mama loves me.

2008-06-17T06:14:00.000-07:00

I feel like peeing.
If your paws were in water
This cold, you would too.

2008-06-16T07:41:00.000-07:00

Let me clean your face.
To you it is sweat. To me,
Salted Human. Yum.

2007-09-27T12:11:00.000-07:00

The full moon passes,
The time for baths approaches.
My dogs are so ripe.

2007-08-26T15:31:00.000-07:00

You call me a pig.
Well, bacon's good and ham's good:
I must be good, too.

2007-08-19T09:20:00.000-07:00

It’s hard to destuff
Blankies. You workout your way
And I’ll workout mine.

2007-08-05T12:51:00.000-07:00

I am old. I like
The sun on my face and the
Stinky dogs far away.

2007-08-03T08:55:00.000-07:00

In dreams I bark at
Evil: siamese, mailmen,
Random motes of dust.

2007-07-29T15:49:00.000-07:00

Course I have big ears:
To hear cats and bunnies and
Plastic wrap on cheese.

2007-07-28T07:11:00.000-07:00

You paparazzi.
No! I told you no photos!
Won't you ever learn?

2007-07-20T11:48:00.000-07:00

Why do you insist
That this pillow is yours? I
Plainly own it now.

2007-07-20T11:42:00.000-07:00

My cat is large. She

Has a Paw of Death. Still, I

Try to sniff her butt.

2007-07-19T11:21:00.000-07:00

It’s quiet. Intruders
Gone. No prowling cats around.
Go to DefCon Five.

2007-07-16T20:03:00.000-07:00

They call me "Hannah".

Because "The fat one who steals
panties" is too long.

2007-07-16T11:50:00.000-07:00

That one wasn’t me—
That eye-watering dog fart.
Was it you? Good job.

2007-07-11T15:25:00.001-07:00

It is afternoon.
Perfect time for naps, so we
Can wake you tonight.

2007-07-09T11:52:00.000-07:00

I lie on my back.
You rub my tummy, till I
Sneeze right in your face.

2007-07-06T12:00:00.000-07:00

Throw it, throw the ball!
I love when you throw it far,
then I lick my butt.

2007-07-06T11:59:00.000-07:00

The cat is evil.
She chases me from the yard
When I need to pee.

2007-07-05T13:24:00.000-07:00

You washed my blanket?
But why? It was just starting
To smell as I wished.

2007-07-05T11:36:00.000-07:00

You’re bigger than me
But you know what? I bet that
I can eat more cheese.

2007-07-05T11:35:00.000-07:00

My owners' mood is
Romantic—I lie near by,
and fart a big one.

2007-07-03T09:56:00.000-07:00

You’re just jealous. If
You could put your toes in your
Ear, you’d do it too.

2007-06-29T20:22:00.001-07:00

I eat off the floor
What just dropped? Maybe nothing
But it could be cheese.

2007-06-29T20:13:00.000-07:00

I sleep in your crotch:
Your legs like a hot dog bun,
And I am the dog.

2007-06-29T20:01:00.000-07:00

Bite my stuffed bunny!
I am the fierce hunter, till
It’s time for dinner.

2007-06-29T20:00:00.001-07:00

Early morning lumps,
Under the blanket. Are they
My Chihuahuas? Yes

2007-06-29T12:56:00.000-07:00

Why no, I don't know

Anything at all about

That spot on your rug.
