This morning when I did my walk
I had to brave the rain.
I trotted like a racehorse
Just to hurry home again.
Once in the door, my feet were wiped,
A towel rubbed me dry.
I lay down on my usual place
And let out a big sigh.
Then came my treat, a nice warm throw
Just taken from the dryer.
The toasty warmth was better than
A rocker by the fire.
I snuggled in and closed my eyes
The people smiled at me.
I didn’t move a muscle and
Was quite content, you see.
What a brilliant poem… I love it

Thanks, KB. I wish I could have someone pamper me like that, and put a warm blanket on me right from the dryer.

What a beautiful moment. I could just imagine it. It inspires me to go out for a walk on a rainy day. I usually stay inside on those days…and eat. LOL
