A Thoughtful Stroll

Omar often told me

about walks he took alone

while at his beloved K-9 Town

I wished I hadn’t known.

 

He said he’d walk for hours

sometimes be gone all day

to see what threats awaited his pack

to handle them his way.

 

He told me they were thoughtful strolls

that was only partially true

he was looking for signs of danger

I wished the others knew.

 

His pack would have been by his side

rain, sleet, sun, or snow

but I had to keep his secret

I couldn’t let them to know.

Though many things have changed now

the threats are far and few

he continues to take his thoughtful strolls

it’s what good Leaders do.

 

What's ailing Babee Blue - Tell big brother

 

Ma was worried about Babee. When he came home from K-9 Town, he was acting funny. Doing a lot of pouting. We decided I'd handle it. That's what big brothers are for.

I took him up to "Tell It Mountain." That mountain makes all of us start talkin. Babee did have a problem. He couldn't understand why some of his friends can come and go from K-9 Town, while others stay without ever leaving... and they don't mind at all.

It didn't take long. I explained, how some dogs come after crossing the Rainbow Bridge. Others, like him and his friends, depend on Ma to get 'em here. He knew better than to ask how she does it. Nobody knows, and she ain't tellin. 

I still had to get to the root of the problem. Can't have my baby brother suffering. Then I realized what it was... Babee's got a gal.

Meet Jemma. Is she cute or what! Babee wants Ma to meet her but he can't see how, cause Jemma came from over The Bridge.

I convinced him that Ma already knows about Jemma. She just don't want to interfere. (We both howled at that one.) Anyway, her thing is... what happens at K-9 Town... stays at K-9 Town. That's what makes us so special.

Babee understood. He snapped out of it right away. Couldn't wait to go down from "Tell It Mountain," to find Jemma and the rest of his friends here.

I stayed awhile. It's one of my favorite places.

The Seers take charge... Uh Oh!

 

Did I tell y'all about when our two take-charge Seers, Granny and Rasta Mama came to me with a plan to get those timber wolves away from here.

I had a time explaining that wouldn't be a good thing. Had to think fast. 

They're talking about it over at Altered Reality Mag.
