A very friendly Black Dog

The short poem below was sleeping in my head: I have just woken it up and wrote it down here.

I saw You somewhere in Paris

And You are exactly the same:

As merry as the day is long

You rush to me and stretch

Your paws over my hands

And even do the baisemain

For You're glad to see Me again.

Below: a Merry Spaniel - i. e., a lovely, happy and cheerful black English Cocker Spaniel who resembles the One I dreamt about last night.

Picture found somewhere on the Web.
