    I must be travelling in strange circles. This is the fourth or fifth poem I've read on the same prompt. All good!

    You have created an interesting dialogue here. Though I found it quite sad.

    whom I am glad to have been introduced to. Controversial in some circles-)

    Rob-bear~ You are traveling in excellent circles if you are reading Mags. Don't know why my Mag would sadden you.

    izzy~ Play with barks...clever you! My standard poodle, Bonbon, actually does count to five. I can mix it all up and she never gets the command wrong. She is brilliant!
    August....I will have to go through my stacks because I don't think I read the article. Thanks.

    Brian~ Thanks much! Your comment was awesome. :)

    Doctor FTSE~ I am honored you think so. And I really like your new profile pic.

    Wander~ I have those tech tricks all the time! Thank you for letting me know you don't think the dialogue is sad!

    claudia~ Thanks so much. I think it was the beginning of a beautiful friendship, most definitely. I think I remember you writing sometime that you have not had a dog. Maybe one will adopt you sometime, Claudia!

    haha... I wonder if dogs could spek instead of woof, if they would swear back at us.... LOL
    I guess it's all in their growls and how they use their own snarling facial expressions too.
    Love is love whether they cuss and swear with attitude or not.
    A lifetime relationship right there :)
    Loved this unique and very clever take on the pic really made me SMILE this morning

    there's a theory that dogs can have as many as three different names

    The names we give them, the breed name and the secret name known only to themselves and the pack

    Great piece of writing

    Kutamun~ Thank you for stopping by. That little glitch over at your blog was quite interesting!

    Daydreamertoo~ Makes me happy to know this made you smile! I appreciated your comment (and read speak from the beginning!).

    Kathe~ It's always a pleasure to your blog! After reading your comment here I decided that I must make a video of Bonbon counting on command. We have an audio recording from years ago, but that's not the same. I'll let you know when I post to youtube.

    Pixies~ Wow, I love that theory and it makes sense to me. Makes me truly wonder what Abby and Bonbon called one another. They were so close and Bonbon sure knows who we are talking about when we bring up Abby's name. Strange to think that she may be translating it into the secret name.

    goatman~ Well, okay!!!

    Grace~ Thanks; it was fun to fool around with.

    hyperCRYPTICal~ I so appreciate you reading it twice to get it. I admit that it is a bit "out there." I get into some weird moods sometimes!

BEGINNING IN 2014 I will reply to only occasional comments here, while appreciating every visit and all comments! My reason is to enable me to utilize that time to read and comment on your blog posts instead! If/when I get more organized I may later return to replying to comments here, but one of my New Years resolutions is to spend more time at your sites: reading, enjoying, learning! Thank you for understanding.

If your blog is associated with a Google+ account, I may not be able to visit you from your namelink. I do not wish to join Google+ and the site sometimes requires that I do so in order to read/comment on posts there.
