Unfurl unwind opening

Haiku: Pineapple and sweet potato?
A soft sturdy green vine
Deceiving plant names
A sage of a different name
Don’t eat the sweet potato vine! Just enjoy its simple light green beauty.

uninvited takes its space

Golden Brodie barks “Give Your Dog a Job”
Ever since I was a pup…I have been working on being a well-behaved dog…I’ve been at this for three years and it never ends. I’ve also learned to listen and follow my instincts…the retrieving part…so I get things…yes I do understand quite a bit…but I mean I go and “get things”…like my toys.
She says “Go get your toy!”… and off I go…retrieve the toy and bring it for a playtime. I’m also still working on calming down…goal in mind… become a Therapy Dog…so I’ve been practicing outside of my local hospital…learning to take my place…be calm…and just do nothing…that’s right nothing…just sit or lay down and accept the gentle hands that pet me…It’s my job…hey somebody has to do it.
We all need a job…yes even dogs…certain dogs are happiest when they have a purpose…consider teaching your dog how to help you with chores around the house…and of course…don’t forget the tricks!
