Every time I walk past my dog
He lays down on his side
Lifting a hind leg, showing me his nuts
I shake my head and think, what a strange dog
But could it be, perhaps, what if, somewhere
Deep within the greasy folds of his scrotum
The answers to the universe are waiting, contained
Offering, as he stares longingly in my direction
Leg in the air
Anything is possible, I suppose
Or maybe, nothing is that complicated
There is no deeper meaning to be found
Maybe he just loves me
And maybe, sometimes
A dog just wants his balls scratched

Thanks for the laugh River. I sent it to all and sundry. I used to be a dog lover, but now I live in a rich neighbourhood, and they replaced kids with dogs. All I see of dogs is see them pissing and shitting everywhere when I’m out and about.

The answer to the universe IS there: Just love everything the way a dog loves you:-) Also, my dog loves to have his tummy rubbed and it’s always a challenge not to touch his puppy parts when he’s wriggling around delightedly!

Exactly! If I claimed that while my wife and I would rub his belly together, I never purposely knocked her hand into his junk, I’d be lying.
