Spring Showers Bring May Flowers: A Poem by Mary Oliver

A Mary Oliver Poem: to start out your week:

I have to travel in early May, so I’ve been thinking about this poem:

CONVERSATIONS: from Dog Songs 

I had to go away for a few days so I called the kennel and made an appointment… I guess Bear overheard the conversation.

“Love and company,” said Bear, “are the adornments that change everything. I know they’ll be nice to me, but I’ll be sad, sad, sad.” And pitifully, he wrung his paws.

I cancelled the trip.

    It’s always so hard to leave the pets! 🙂

      You’re totally right and you just made me feel better. Our pet sitter seems awesome and they need a little holiday I think. I know I drive them crazy!
