For the holidays we flew back east to visit our children and
grandchildren.
Everyone was fawning
over the new
addition to the
family. My husband
and I were dismayed
when we
realized their 'kvelling'
(pride) was
ridiculous, if not
absurd. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
My kids and I
disagree |
|
That we shall never
see |
|
A dog as ugly as
their Brody |
|
Not a member of the
canine bourgeoisie |
|
He's a dog wannabe |
|
Who looks more like
a coyote. |
|
How can they think
he's cute to any
degree |
|
Unless they've been
hitting the Chablis. |
|
Every other week
he's at the vet on
the gurney |
|
Something wrong with
his eye or his knee. |
|
They kvell
at everything they
see |
|
Oh my, look at Brody
pee. |
|
It's beyond a
tolerable degree |
|
And pains me to see |
|
How they treat him
like he's the
perfect pedigree |
|
Instead of what he
is, a trailer trash
mutt from Tennessee |
