Baby Pup

The veterinarian first looked concerned
Then he looked confused
Then he looked disgusted
I on the other hand
Was in a dreamy lovescape of happiness and pleasure
Scrunchie my Corgi dog and life joy
Was struggling but doing well
Her cries were consistent with the difficulty of giving birth
When the complete body was successfully extracted
I let out a cry of joy
Cheyenne was brought into the world
Our little Cheyenne
The vet was visibly disturbed as he stepped back
And let Cheyenne and mother share a moment
Scrunchie licked at Cheyenne
The vet went to the phone
I looked closer and took the beautiful moment in
Cheyenne a puppy…yet not totally
Small human hands where her front paws would be
Small human legs where her back legs would be
It was wonderous
Cheyenne let out a little squeal
Human words maybe?
No…
Love can only perform so many miracles
I stroked Scrunchie’s little ears
She licked my hand
That was all she could offer of her love right now
Exhausted from the ordeal
But I knew her love was still there, as strong as ever
Now I’m sitting in the waiting room
There are police and more vets around
And some animal rights activists
And the press
They are all seem agitated and alert
I heard a vet say ‘he’s a nutbar’
And I figured he must be referring to the activist
Who had screamed ‘you’re a sicko, a monster’ at me earlier
So now I wait
They won’t let me see Scrunchie or Cheyenne
Scrunchie should be taken out for her walkies about now
It’s times like these when you wish you had your suds machine with you
Because when you turn that on everything is suddenly happy
Everybody is happy when running about in soapy suds
And then when everyone would be dancing around in the suds
I’d retrieve Scrunchie and Cheyenne and go home
Because I can’t wait to see little Cheyenne
Down at the park
Running free on those oh so unique legs
