When I take a walk without my dog <br />I miss his eagerness and bounce. <br />I miss the way he sniffs around <br />and pees on every tree and wall. <br /> <br />A walk without this perky friend <br />is practically no walk at all.<br /><br />Robert Melliard<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-walk-without-my-dog/
