Buddy by the Sea

Buddy has been to the Sea of Cortez and to the Atlantic on the coast of Maine.

He loves the water. Any water.  From his kiddie pool, to the lakes and creeks and from sea to shining sea. He particularly liked Rocky Point, Mexico because of the length of the tide and the other dogs.
I wrote this poem to match this photo a number of years ago. He is eleven now and I sure would like to get him back to the seashore sometime.

Buddy

Curiosity 

See

the Sea

and Run Free

He Ran

He swam

He dug holes

He rolled in stinky stuff

And when he got in at night

We looked at each other and said

"that’s about enough".
