Life Is For the Dogs


Eliza is for the dogs.
In the middle of a successful career in education,
Replete with Ph.D. and love for the children that she served,
Eliza quit her job.

Half way through her second doctoral program,
Eliza will soon be a Veterinary Surgeon.
She has moved from internecine warfare
To a place where results are less ambiguous.

Eliza’s choice speaks to the human spirit.
Away from voices mouthing different agendas:
Teachers, administrators and government agencies
Will have far less influence.

What is best for the animal is paramount,
Sometimes that includes life-ending treatment.
Yes, it is not without financial considerations,
But hopefully, it does not require committees.
