German Shepherd dogs never stop #learning.
they never stop being eager, never stop turning
a new page every day. Like the eternal child,
they never stop being wild.
They're incredibly lovely tho. Or it would be quite concerning.

I think I’m ready to contrive

a book with my dog limericks from this here #vss365.

Look back through my posts, at the lastest #reflection
and the beginning of the collection.

All stories of real dogs that are, or were, part of my life.

There was a dog, named „Elephant“

in the room, so eloquent,
he could say „Wow“, „Awoo“, and „Rruff“

as well as a lot of other stuff,

but wouldn’t. He just didn't think it #relevant.

By all means, the fetch in question was #achievable.

But Larry the Golden declared it irretrievable.

Being a slacker instead of an eager beaver,

they demoted him to Silver Retriever

and denied him his treats. Unbelievable!

No toys or treats, just a well timed #measure
of belly rubs gave my dog unspeacable pleasure.

When I would say, „OK. Now it’s enough!“

He’d plead, „Pleeeease more…. just ’til your arm falls off…“

Me: „Sure. As you wish, my Lord, my love, my ireasure!“

Dogs were sick & tired of being fed a fraction

of a treat & being told it’s a whole and an intact one.

They felt it was an insult of their intelligence,

a betrayal of trust & an overall offence.

So finally, it was pups vs. humans in a class #action.

Ever since his adoption,

Max the wiener rode shotgun

in his human’s car, 

always and everywhere, near or far.

Was there even another #option?

Belle was an abandoned dog. She

talked at nicht to her favourite flea.

Living on the street, all alone,
no home, no human of her own,

she’d lost touch with #reality.

My chihuahua, Snap, loved dancing, his ambitious #goal
to be the best in every contest. Prancing like a foal.

If a Geat Dane or a Pitbull would dare to try

dancing, too, tiny Snap would growl: „Prepare to die!“
Chihuahua-built-in hubris, no self preservation, no control.

Young Fritz wondered why the box they’re in was dark and sort
of rumbling. 3-yr-old Bob shook silently, not allowed to import
what he knew, so to not scare

the other who were there, screaming, even though unaware.
„Meat is loud today“, compained the driver of the pig transport.

Lou, a French Bulldog I once knew in my life

loved to dance to what he called „Waffwruff #numberrr frrife“.
Whenever his mom played that song,

his whole butt rhythmically wagged along.

Viral vids, 600 K clicks, 1 Mio fans. Sadly, Lou never performed live.

Beth suffers from severe readeritis, and there is no cure.

In the library there never quite is enough #literature.
Her thirst for words is self-propelled,

her need for books unparalleled.

Beth always finds comfort and rightness in them for sure.

My cat, Bella, always liked 2 B single

but my dogs liked 2 B social & wanted 2 mingle.

Bella took up their #language, barks & whining.

She spoke Human & Birdish, chirped with impeccable timing.

She found out the perks of being multi-lingual.

My dogs U've met.

To write his personal #history,

Mexx, my dog used to carefully piss, uh, pee

one chapter on the same tree, every day,

perpetuating his diary in a merry way,

for other pups to be entertained olfactorily.

Teach my dog some #geograpy. U can do that, dontcha?
Cuz I forgot everything I knew about it. Like a fit of dementia.
So when I tried, my lecture nothing more than a draft,
tail wagging excitedly, the pup just laughed & laughed.
Seems, back in school I never paid enuff attentia.

Jay hates all the greyness, just this everydayness.
He’d rather not hide his gay dress, but become #famous
as a drag queen, or a fabulous, free prince,
pink crown, sparkling with sequins.
That’s always the way Jay was.

Betti said, "I baked you a cage."
"You baked me what?" cried B.O.H.
"Don't you mean, a cake?"
"I do not! You know I can't bake.
I don't even know your age.

or which special gifts you get.
But "Crap, beep, f*ck!" means "Happy Bday" in fluent Tourette."

When a reader loves a story so much they're inspired to make art about it, no matter their artistic skill, it's a beautiful thing. As an author, if I found out a reader made AI fan art of my characters I'd feel insulted. AI generated fan art is an abomination. Fuck off with that & keep fucking off!

in 1992, a song by Radiohead, named „Creep“

became iconic, more or less in their sleep.

Still inn 2025, it's a popular choice

for the blind auditions on „The Voice“.

If done well, it can make listeners weep.

In every Science Fiction flic, they give the poor #Martian
ugly features, like black eves and such, just to harshen

his Look, plus I always wonder, why aliens are such a mess:
superior tech, mighty starships, but nothing to dress.

Always naked on their space excursions.

The grearest, most wonderful thing on earth

is a dog! Just love him back, and you’ll see his worth

'cause he’ll fpllpw ypu through #arid land

or flooded grounds, he will defend

you, no matter what, and share your sadness and your mirth.

A doggy helpline. „They left me alone,“ 

Ben the pitbull,complained on the phone.

„Oh no!“ came the answer. „Tell me how long,

my good boy, are yor humans gone?“

„5 minutes!“ Ben growled with a whiny #undertone.

There was a young lady from Ghana

who went swimming with her tamed #piranha.

Peopje thought it was magic

cause the end wasn’t tragic

They didn’t know the fish grew up jeeding on banana.

Because of his #sonorous voice,

carrying over every possible noise,

the yard dogs made Patty, the pittie, barker in chief.

The most possible horror to any possible thief,

Patty proved to be the best possible choice.

Amelia, the Persian cat, was #capricious and mean.

She was proud of her beauty and wanted to be seen.

Each day she wore a collar, adorned with a little bell.

She loved its tiny tinkle, and pranced like a gazelle.

Human underlings adored her Majesty, Amelie the Queen.
