There ain't a wagging tail
or a pair of doe eyes
to quietly reprimand me
nor a furry excited head
Resting in my lap
urging me to go out
for a walk.
because last night
the neighbours came back
thanked me profusely
couldn't believe their eyes
at her glossy coat
and a bit of a weight gain
and thanked me again
for babysitting their darling
who in the past 42 days
had become my darling too.
