Cat..and Dogs
Rudyard Kiplings's artwork for the Just So Stories
The greyhound "Eos" (or "Dawn") belonged to
Prince Albert and came with him when he married Victoria.
The portrait was commissioned secretly by the Queen
and given to him their first Christmas together.
The cane, top hat, and gloves are those of the Prince.
"I didn't ASK to be part of this. I am so SO sorry I'm here."
"HELLLLOOO!"
(from "Boots" aka "Wellington" a Montreal resident.)

The Dogs at Live Oak Beach, Santa Cruz
by Alicia Ostriker
As if there could be a world
Of absolute innocence
In which we forget ourselves
The owners throw sticks
And half-bald tennis balls
Toward the surf
And the happy dogs leap after them
As if catapulted—
Black dogs, tan dogs,
Tubes of glorious muscle—
Pursuing pleasure
More than obedience
They race, skid to a halt in the wet sand,
Sometimes they'll plunge straight into
The foaming breakers
Like diving birds, letting the green turbulence
Toss them, until they snap and sink
Teeth into floating wood
Then bound back to their owners
Shining wet, with passionate speed
For nothing,
For absolutely nothing but joy.
