no pet zone

i stare at the drawer
full of extra large plastic baggies
and think
do i really want
another dog again.
taking it out
in the rain and snow.
taking it to the vet for another
five hundred dollar
check up and stomach
pump to get a dead
bird out of him.
the barking, the shedding.
the guilt of leaving
him at home.
i love dogs. cats are fine too.
but no.
