You could call it ‘one of those days’ had you
a mind to labeling; two dogs gone missing -
and one of whom’s still out and about with
identical proclivities; no doubt Mango Hill’s
an allure that draws ‘em in. While Dusty’s
home-boy after his 4am excursion Podge
wants to even the score, haven’t seen him
since early day-break - that’s well before
Ute grinning like he’d won the jackpot. He’s
a great pet they say, despite a ‘hunters inc’
breeding he just wants to play. Open doors
are an invitation and he wanders in to pass
friendliest greetings like a long lost friend
he’s a self-invited guest here too - blew in
from over the road where he couldn’t find
company he likes to keep, so - well we’re
minding him; there’s histories of dogs with
dysfunctional humans, not that we’re
human’s barely trained; Dusty looks a mite
askance. Can’t guess what you just meant
by observing that, really he’s a lovely boy
who hasn’t had opportunities to grow into
his caring concerns for a dog like me
