Patrick the {insecure} poodle.

{patrick, my poodle.}

tonight at dinner as patrick sat
with his head on our laps,
patiently waiting for any scraps to fall,
i expressed how
i wish i could be patrick just for a day, so carefree & fun loving.
my dad's response,
"well, patrick is very insecure."

who knew--insecure poodles?
next thing you know we will have
paranoid hamsters.
