Oh Dog! It’s been awhile since we shared some poetry. We gotta fix that!
Are you ready for an Autumn Poetry Challenge?

Here’s my poem:
Fall on the Florida coast. They’re freezing up north while we roast. Still green on the trees, but the native folk freeze. Oh it’s cold weather I miss the most!It’s your turn! I can’t wait to read your poems!
Autumn’s in the air,
leaves are turning brown.
Squirrels are gathering nuts.
birds are heading down
to now-warm southern countries.
Bears will soon be sleeping.
Days are getting shorter.
Cold air comes a’ creeping.
Yard Spiders! EEK!!!!
But happy is the dog
that smells fall in the air.
Our coats are thick and warm.
We run without a care.
The smells are fresh and new!
We chase squirrels up the trees.
We smile, those crisp, cool mornings,
and jump in piles of leaves.
Watching for Autumn!
Welcome cooler mornings!
Welcome cooler days!
Summer’s finally over,
and Arctic Dogs say YAY!!!
YAY for Fall!!!
Hi! My name is Rumpy, and I am an Alaskan Malamute. I used to live in Middle Tennessee, but now my family and I reside in the Florida Panhandle of the US. I have this cool blog that I started in 2011. Here at rumpydog.com we talk about all things animal, with a focus on animal welfare and responsible animal companion guardianship. But we also like to throw in a heaping helping of cute! cute! cute! I mean, how could you look at me and not melt, right?
My story? Well, I was found on the side of a busy street. Jenny thought she would help me find my home, but nobody claimed me. So now I live with her. She's a pretty good ole' gal, but she is mighty stingy with the dog cookies. *sigh*
Also living here is DeDe- an older lady of unknown origins that was living at the trash dump. DeDe has many health concerns, yet you'd never know it by looking at her. She's the happiest dog in the whole world!
There are also some cats- they each have their own story. June Buggie is their chief spokesperson. He is 16 years old, crotchety, and not afraid to say what's on his mind.
