Larry all I have for this is it's fantastic!

Larry, loved this! Your visuals are spot on and I felt like I was right there walking along. Wonderful!

Hello, Larry

this is a remarkable poem. You weave a wonderful yarn, sir.

Well done on a definitely, well deserved win Larry

I love the visuals you paint with your words in this poem.

My dad would walk our family dog, Lou, around 10pm every night before going to bed. They'd go on long, ambling 30 minute walks and had several routes picked out. Sometimes I would go with them. One of the routes took them through the elementary school and baseball field near our house. Our cat, Stinky, would walk with them part way and my dad would carry her in his jacket for the remainder. We have possums, raccoons, skunks, and even turkeys that patrol the neighborhood. A few feral cats, though mostly they have homes I think. Anyway, this poem brought me back to those memories and made me think of the bond between my dad and our dog. Thanks for unintentionally triggering some warm memories :)
