What a great picture, Debra. I enjoyed your fun poem.
The rhymes and flow were smooth. I could see Molly
leading you to her favorite place. I'm thrilled she gets
to visit it often.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

Good picture, nice job.

I envy Moll's freedom of running wild and enjoying the splash.

It reminds me of my good old days on a sunny day jumping into the pool.

Thanks for sharing

What a fun read. I can see Moll pulling you with the leash. This poem teaches us what animals already know - that sometimes you must seize the moment. I love flow and excellent use of alliteration, especially in the last stanza.

Dogs and water, yet they hate the ritual of the bath! How do they know the difference? Maybe it's the soap smell? A delightful poem and beautifully illustrated with Molly. Sending you my best today as always, dear Debra.

    Thanks for your lovely feedback, Sal - So true what you say about dogs and water - Molly loves water but really hates the bath and hates going for a groom even more! :)
    Best wishes as always, Debra x

Oh, I can see the joy unleashed as Molly splashed into the water. And I think you felt it too. Your poem is well rhymed and carries with it a cheerful tone. Really nice.

I like how you prepared us for the Splash with the prelude of the "sea of scrub"! And Molly looks like a very happy puppy! So glad you and she are doing these walks. Enjoyed your poem!

As you listen to Molly, I listen to my Seal Points, Bella and Smokey. Sometimes they look at me as if to say, "Why worry and hurry - chill out and enjoy all of this around you!"

We should all be so attuned to our pets.

This lovely rhyming poem is like a snapshot of your day. Thanks for sharing that with us.
