high...
...that a pet will be there to pick up the slack.

They give us purpose,
responsibility,
a reason for getting up in the morning,

They ground us,
help us escape grief, make us laugh,
and take full advantage of our weakness
by exploiting our furniture,

ReplyDeleteThank you for featuring two of my prints in this month's blog! The cat Linocut print "Looking for Trouble Buster" was created as several sets of handprinted notecards for a non profit auction several years ago. It's from a photo my husband took of our son's kitten. The mixed media etching is of my preteen son (now 34) resting under a mulberry tree after a rousing game of soccer with his dog Keya (crossed 15 years ago one week after her boy left for Army bootcamp). Both works have great meaning for me.
