Oh Dog! I am so excited! Jen wrote a guest blog post for Christmas Pie Crafts! Ya oughtta go check it out!
But she’s not the only one who’s been doing a little writing. I spent yesterday afternoon crafting some Haiku to share with you today.
Lurking in shadows,
Ninja Kitty carefully
plans his next attack.
Crunchy, delicious!
I’d roll over for a taste,
or maybe just sit.
Inseparable,
Best friends forever they are,
A dog and a cat.
Feel free to add your own Haiku below!
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 southeast Alabama. 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*
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.

Aww.
So cute!

I love your comment on ninja kitty, but I couldn’t help thinking he was hardly lurking …. so bright orange! What a wonderful household, I love dropping by.
Posted by WordsFallFromMyEyes | April 21, 2012, 4:35 AMyeah well it’s hard to get a good shot when he actually lurks in the shadows…. I guess I could have said he was lurking on the comfy blanket.

Posted by rumpydog | April 21, 2012, 11:44 AMHi Rumpy,,,Hope you’re doing well. Hey,,,what the haik is hecku,,,oops, I mean what the heck is haiku ? Ahhh,,,never mind,,,the subject is obviously way over my head ! Keep on creating,,,it’s good for the mind.
Posted by Joke Puppy | April 21, 2012, 12:17 PMOh, so you’re just another funny face.. is that what you’re saying?
Posted by rumpydog | April 21, 2012, 8:32 PMVery nice guest post (especially the part about fake pet lovers) and I love the haiku!!
Posted by Deb Barnes - Zee and Zoey | April 21, 2012, 12:22 PMDid ya notice that there are LOTS of commercials now with animals in them? Some of them are made by people who obviously have no clue about animals. I make it a point to NOT buy those products.
Posted by rumpydog | April 21, 2012, 8:20 PMWell done and the pictures are so cute . We really don’t know what haiku is either but guess it is like poetry and yours are quite good. Loved the guest post. Have a super week end.
