Ricky, why are you barking and trying
to rip up the couch? Can’t you settle
down? It’s been a long day.
“It sure has. First you forgot to take
me out. Then you went to the market
and heaven knows where else. And my
dinner was late. And our walk was
short. And now you’re supposed to
be on the floor playing with me but,
no, you’re doing something else. So I
thought I’d give this couch a little
distress.”
Well, don’t. Be a good boy.
“Honestly, what do you expect? Like
you I’m not perfect, I’m only human.”
- Mary Oliver, in “Dog Songs”
