How many ways
You have taught me
And shown me
To say 
YES
To Life...

So sure of yourself
You seem to know
Always
Where you are going
Guided
[as you are]
By your good heart.

I have always admired
Your "Fillet-of-Grace"
aka
Splatterbutt
Position
But I see it is also
"High Noon"
At this angle...

You LOVE the rain
And you, too
Are game to walk in it
Yet...
Somedays we just have to
Come in
Out of
The rain...

A Tie-Dye Graceface

It is fun to see what happens
Taking some of your pictures
Playing
Discovering
What-If~ing???

Oh how you DO LOVE the mud
And the muddier mud
Even the muddiest mud
And let us NOT even
Mention
Sand!!

Your face...
It ALWAYS tells so much more
Than all the words
I might invent
To explain
What I think you mean.

For my own understanding
Sometimes I need to SEE
That Nekked Gracie
And Fluffernut Gracie
Are One
&
The Same
Gracie!!!

Without a doubt

My Summer Buzz Cut With Pretty Pink Bows

You are so NOT
A pink ribbons
And little bows
On your ears
Girl...
Still, sometimes it happens
And 
Honestly?!
What you teach me
About 
Simple Acceptance
Utterly amazes me...

A little bit of soft
And closed eyes
And you are
Asleep
Sweet Sleepyheaded Girl!

You have always been
A little
Even a LOT
Tentative
Unlike most dogs I've known
You pause
You consider
You take your time...
I've learned to DO this, too
Pause
Consider
Take my time.
Thank You
For showing me YOUR Way.

Even though...
You have your furriness
To keep you warm
There have been
And likely will BE again
Cold times
When even YOU
Choose to wrap up
Like a "brrrrito"

Sometimes
I forget this YOU
The much younger YOU
Who so rarely was
Still
Quiet
Who was always set
To bubble
To GO
Yet when I see this photo
When I remember back to THEN
I realise I DO actually
Remember that Gracie...

Indeed you DO!!!
And I don't mind telling you
It's weird!!!
But even more than the weirdness of it
Is my utter amazement
That you SLEEP
Sooooooo...
Easily.
With you it is like a science
An art.

At sleeping
"deep leeps"
YOU 
are the master.
It astonishes me
Every time
How easily you fall into sleep
And just as quickly
Wake up
Like the sunshine
Ready to play
And 
Play
And
Play

There is in YOU
In your face
In your eyes
In your smile
In your acknowledgement
An amazing sweetness
A blessing
That is nothing short of truly
Extraordinary...

What fun
Focusing in
On this expression
Mid-run
Fiddling with colours
And other effects
Capturing the moment
I'll never forget...

Here's the thing...
Even when you take a
"bad" picture
You still make it fun
To play
And
Make ME laugh
At the curious ways
I have caught you
BEing
YOU!!

This face
Your
I'm totally amazed
Face
It's such a JOY
To see
And
Experience.

Happy Gracie Day
6 May 2005
We met
You picked ME
Climbed right up onto my lap
With a certainty
That this relationship was 
All
Up 
To 
You
I always consider that wondrous happenstance
When I feel low
Sad
Excluded
Apart
Knowing
I
Am
NOT
BEcause
YOU
Chose
ME

How many ways I have played with it
How it makes me smile, each and every time...

This
It turns out
Is so Gracie
Rolling in the sand
Rolling in the stink upon the sand
Tearing up the beach
With JOY and DeLIGHT
&
Turning Serenity
Into
A whole lot more than just 
A word in the sand...

Enough said...
Yours is a face
I'm always deLIGHTed and
Always blessed by
Always

You're a funny bunny
How you respond
So appreciatively
When someone finds
Just the right spot
And you make them feel
So wise and wondrous

Sleep 
I often think it's your favourite thing
And well it MAY BE,
However...
I think it's just how 
And where
You dream up
New and wonderful ways
To love...
