Animal Crackers: RAYMOND

About Me

Location: Midwest, United States

I am a senior citizen who enjoys writing and other forms of communication. I enjoy designing cards for all occasions. Dogs have always been a major part of my life. I have published my own dog magazine, written dog columns for a local newspaper's web site and major TV station web site, and conducted informational classes about dogs through the library system for over 25 years. I write poems about each one of my dogs. My biggest achievement was becoming a member of Mensa. Music makes me happy. I love to dance. Skating was my life when I was young. Adopting a rescue dog has given me a new start in life. He has taught me so much.

RAYMOND

TO RAYMOND

Head held lofty high
Mind serenely alert
Ears attentive
Nostrils keenly honed to the wind
Eyes reflecting an inner depth of proud dignity
Steady and sure-footed
Tail befits the unfurled banner swaying gently
Surrounded by an aura of eagerness and fixed attention
Majesty at its finest!

THE GOLDWOOD GIRLS

There they go - sailing across the fields
like waves of golden sunlight
warming the morning's crisp, clear air.

Punkin - The Grand Dame
the personification of a Golden millenium

Sassy - So loving and trusting again!
At last assured that not all of mankind
is lacking in compassion

Melody and Bonnie - A pair of golden nuggets
with just enough polish to make them
irrestistably charming!

AND

Conda - A 24K golden tomboy!
Eager to get on with it all
Not to be outdone by the others.

And there - atop the hill
His serene, loving eyes grandly attentive
The proud protector of

HIS Golden Girls

Goldwood's Little Raymond
reigns
