Her vet has suggested it is, perhaps, time.
She's a big dog, and with aging her difficulties mount.
She is incontinent, with serious hip problems.
On occasion we babysit her and two siblings
We share certain traits.
While I am more talkative,
She communicates with equal,
If not greater, understanding.
Long gone is her need to lead
And ward-off any alien (male)
dog.
Now Maggie spends her time
splayed
On a convenient carpet or couch.
In conversation with neighbors
or friends
I invariably touch a shoulder or
an arm.
When being petted, Maggie will
look
To put a paw on whoever is
proffering friendship.
Unlike me, Maggie has a sanguine
view of humanity.
Anyone who get their face close enough
Will be rewarded with a tongue
massage.
Did I tell you she is a
beautiful creature?
