This is a kind and perceptive poem that sympathizes with a dog's point of view. It sounds as if the dog has to put up with competition from hungry raccoons, birds, and squirrels, too. I like the tone of this poem. Sounds like beef is the dog's first choice at the end.

I have been custodian to a few dogs, and Jessie is a good representative of their behavior. I enjoyed your rhymed sonnet and matching picture by the "campfire". Smiles- Joan

I bet Jesse felt gyped after guarding that stew, and only getting some kibble. Really good poem, I loved the images of the dog you have painted with you words.

LOL! Of course he would! But he should be grateful for any food given, I would be, and I can almost smell that stew cooking from here. I loved this, Dawn. Well done, a very well written sonnet. :)) Sandra xx

OK I had to read this a couple times.

I was not sure I read it right the first time.

I believe that this was saying that the dog was patiently awaiting a stew that smelled very good. The dog was guarding the stew, Specifically, from other animals that might want to steal the stew.

In the end with the stew was ready, the owner gave the dog kibbles instead of the stew.

The poor doggie thought the kibbles was a poor substitute for the stew. He would rather eat cow.

Cute dog story. I have watched my own dog sit patiently thinking he was going to get my dinner.

My dog is usually disappointed, too.

That was a very funny poem and the end made me laugh like crazy -
But birds and squirrels - chubby chipmunks too
all gather 'round the campfire to await
the tasty bowl that I'll prepare for you.
So hurry to my side - now don't be late!

Here, Jessie, I have served you kibble now.
What's that you say? You'd rather have some cow.
Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.
