Training Tessa.
Can I be blamed if my brain turned to putty
the first time I ever laid eyes on Tessa
my beautiful clever new puppy ?
Sharing moments of stroke-delight has sent
me insanely accepting wakeful nights
and cleaning up little accidents.
Tessa needs my assurance that being without
me on occasion does not mean I went
away but am still in the house.
Her sad wakefulness starts to subside but as
I crawl back inside my warm duvet
I am needed again, passionately.
When she stops squeaking on seeing me, rubs
forgiveness all over my face with kisses
I give in as Tessa can be stubborn.
I am not complaining as a puppy needs clues
to learning and quite rightly tho that wry
saying"Who trains who" I find amusing.

Hahaha, what a superb close to the ensuing delights of training...? What a winning rascal darling Tessa is! La, this beautifully pictures those early days, er, nights so perfectly with excellent imagery! Love is not even complaining. Wonderful tribute! Give her a kiss for me.

Warm, tender and very endearing lines, Fay...And a magnificent end: "Who trains who" I find amusing."

This is what a loving mother does for the helpless.I got a new baby in Feb. a 4 month old German Shepard , he was huge at 4 months .He has never been one to make accidents in the house our problem is he wanted to chew things up when we were gone. After a $249.00 hole in a 2week old Italian leather sofa we realized a muzzle was much needed.i enjoyed your poem as I put myself into your words.

As long as YOUR love makes Tessa happy - she can do anything and you are free to do as you wish - as long as you BOTH are happy with each other - this is the best state in which to be! And it sounds like it, it sounds like heavenly bliss to me...

Love abounds: the strongest power on earth. It thrives in both giving and receiving. The trick is know how much to give and to receive. too much or too little and all is lost. Love has it's boundaries. Which puppy has to learn as well. Love will show the way, always. A poet friend//RH Peat

Brilliant last line. And this poem kinda touches me because yesterday I watched the movie "Hachiko - a dog story". The first movie to bring tears to my eyes. A lovely poem.

Enjoying Tessa´s training , Fay. And the end lines are so right, who cares about the accidents when you see those eyes.

This is a warm and tender poem about an animal I like. Fay, I would recommend that you read Robinson Jeffers' poem on his bulldog. I don't recall the exact title, but it's about a bulldog, and it's an excellent animal poem.
