I love Ben the dog’s poetry and was thrilled to find that his favorite thing to do last week was to write a poem for my Tanka Tuesday Challenge. That, Ben. He’s a darling. ❤
Hello,
how lovely of you to visit me, thank you. This is a snap shot of my world in response to the questions posed in Cee’s weekly ‘Share Your World
You can read all about my v. v. v big adventure by visiting my home page and also, my Munro blogs. All my poems are here dog-poets page
What is your favorite color of hair? You can name your hair color or a color that you just like.
I’m a tri coloured Border Collie, mostly dark brown, which is a bit difficult to work with. However, I’ve got a streak of white running down my nose and I wondered about a bit of purple and orange, for a punk dog effect. What do you think, would it suit me?
My person is getting more and more grey but I’m not sure I’m allowed to tell you that. I hope I don’t go…

Isn’t that a sweet photo? Ben has been writing some darn good poetry. I lost my two beloved Pomeranian sisters, last year. Ben has eased my loss. ❤

Thank you very much. I keep trying to bark about how sweet I am but not everyone agrees, especially when I chase after ankles riding bikes. Mostly I put on the cute face though and it works pretty well. Love Ben xx

Going after ankles? Oh Ben, have you considered attending AA (Ankles Anonymous)? One as cute as you should not have to resort to such tactics. Love Jan xx

Oh my goodness Jan, thank you so much. I have done a bit of research on the internet and it seems that AA would like to take my dog beer away. I’m not having that, it’s only a bottle now and again. I don’t see any Ankles Anonymous so perhaps I could start a self-help group as my next venture and help a lot of similarly affected canines. Love Ben xx

Ah, your story has touched my heart sweetie. Perhaps you can cut down on the beer but still enjoy a glassful now and again. As for the self-help group, you go for it! A worthwhile endeavour Ben. Hugs. Jan xx

Wait for it Colleen. I think we dogs have a part to play in the big self-help movement. This could have potential!!

Pooches need a self-help group like that, saves on therapist fees. 😉

Umm pink, hadn’t thought of that. It might be a bit light to contrast with my darker colours but I’m going to suggest it to my person, to see if it could cover up the grey. Love Ben xx

Woof, woof, woof. Thank you so much for re-blogging Colleen. I feel so very humble to have eased your pain a little. Those of us who are lucky enough to have kind owners know you do your very best for us right to the last. In honour of your kindness I am going to keep my fur just the way it is (for now anyway, hee, hee) and insist on a kiss from my person everyday, pretending it is from you. Love Ben xx

Oh my, golly gosh, I’ve never heard of a cat swimming, what larks we could have had though, perhaps, the Atlantic might be a doggy paddle too far. My people have always had border collies so I have found a good home 🙂
