NEEDLING

needles needling needlessly with little thread... or much of anything else...

(foolish dribbles to be written at uncertain times, on an irregular basis, from uncertain sections of the ever expending universe, and from whatever dimension I-We-Us-Them might find ourselves/ myself in …)

BRUTUS IS BACK!

Brutus likes to:

roll around on the couch when I’ve forgotten to put his blanket on it and thus getting his brown hair stuck in the orange velvet;

spill his water on the floor when he’s drank what he wanted then look at me with sad eyes five minutes later when I haven’t filled his water bowl back up;

lay in the bathroom and sleep several hours at a time – I have tile in the bathroom and the AC in the living room shoots its cold spurts of air in that direction;

come wake me up at four in the morning though I’ve left the front door open and he can come in and out as he pleases – with this virus he’s getting over, he’s prone to have accidents he can’t necessarily hold in very long, so I leave the door unlocked at night (he knows how to open the door, which closes more or less on its own);

wag his tail and look at me like what? after he’s chewed a poetry book... and he only likes great literature, never would he be caught dead chewing anything less than Rimbaud or Rilke or the likes;

run straight at me when I call him and do circles in between and around my legs, wagging his tail like it’s the best thing ever;

be given treats... probably one of his favorite activities, he loves it when he gets a treat;

hang out next to me when I sit at my desk hours at a time (I usually do nothing much that's constructive, and he gets a good snooze in);

roll around on his back and get his tummy scratched for as long as possible – I swear, he almost purrs, and for a 90 pound dog, that’s a little weird;

(last but not least) hump anything that moves on four legs.

Basically, he's a great dog, and I'm happy he's home.
