wolf dog female, older

white blond, loves Tobey.

like an ad in the classifieds.

she lies in her yard, then

rises, neck stretched low as

if for attack, until he arrives.

and he whimpers and runs

to her, tale awag, and she

cannot get enough of him.

sniffing, and circling, no threat

now, she follows and corrals him

until well away from her home.

till finally she must turn back

yet snuffing at the places he has

lifted his red brown leg to mark.

single white female seeks

single brown shepherd male,

object, intense sense.
