How can so much joy pour from the rivlets of rain soaking

Through my coat as I trudge through endless puddles of

Opportunity, my focus a tail that endlessly wags and back legs

That sideways wiggle in to my laughter and for every one step

Forward she zig zags her way pelting with enthusiasm, to search

Every thicket and bramble till adorned with leaves the tokens of

Thorough exploration, this total and utter bundle of joy ploughs

Into fences to find a way through, brings energy into the quietness

Of rain soaked green and like a favourite advert she diverts my mind

From absorbing Nature to hypnotic love of a waggy tail, and I dare to

Think that I play with her! Such knowing eyes tease my pathetic attempts

At authority and jaws stay firmly shut on the command of, ' drop!' or 'give!'

For she will allow me to think I am in charge.

Pockets filled to saturation and mentally I celebrate her madness the

Infectious energy, the hurtling into undergrowth and still that tail wags

And even when she rests in the back of the car with one eye watching

She knows she had me from the start!
