It’s Poetry Party over at Abbey of the Arts. This week’s theme “Ode to Animal Wisdom” is in honor of the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, which was on Monday. Many churches (including mine) have pet blessings on the Sunday closest to Francis’ feast. This week’s picture is of the paws of Christine’s doggie, Abbess Petunia.
“Companion”
I hear the soft pad of paws
on the hard wood floor
And know I’m not alone.

Here is a picture of me and my companion, Victoria, doing our favorite Sunday afternoon activity:
Thanks so much for your poem and photo Shawna, napping with my sweet dog is one of my favorite activities as well!
Thanks for stopping by Christine! I have to say: napping with the pets is the best.
