Dog Zen Letter 2: I Am Puppy

I am puppy. I bark with glee

and without hesitation,

without self-censorship.

I do not know the word no.

Look at me –

I can lift my leg and pee,

shake your paw for a biscuit,

fetch you a lizard,

lick myself!

Dog Zen Letter 1: Teach Me Dog

My dear puppy,
I have nothing to teach you, save a few basics
like sit, stay and heel, all meant to protect you
from the occasional folly of a careless man.
You, on the other hand, by nature are the very embodiment
of essential happiness and unconditional love.
Let me open my heart and embrace your instincts.
Teach me dog.
