Three Word Wednesday


WANTED: GOOD HOME FOR UNUSUAL PET


a little eerie
wears translucent transparent
disguise

responds to three languages
if in the mood

howls to the moon
in the key of Eb minor

refuses to eat dog food

too neurotic to be a guard dog

deals with difficult situations
by attempting to disappear

good...i'll take him
just my kind of pet
we'll get along fine

    1. Surely hounds like this have 'carers' and not 'owners' ?

  2. Curiously we had a dog just like this when the children were young. He even went to school one day dressed in a school uniform!

  3. A dog who dares to assume his own peculaiar identity and is comfortable about it. And an owner who tunes right in. Love it.

  5. How very non-judgemental of you and such unconditional acceptance.

    Would you ever consider adopting a cantankerous, argumentative extinct old bird?

    3. Oh...OK, let me think about it!

      You are missing the farm I see. If it does not reopen you are going to be at a loose end. I hope it does for your sake .

  6. This made me laugh so much. Who wouldn't warm to a pet like that? You've a good heart.
