LETTING THE DOG OUT

My border collie, Tippy

Greets me in the morning

All smiles, he talks to me

In sign language

Jumping to my attention

He won't let me go

Pulling me to the door

Like a magnet

Until I open it

And linger there watching him

Bound into the bright new day

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I used to love watching my border collie, Tippy, bound out of the door in the morning. It was an expression of pure joy! I miss him!
