Yukon

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

He was my best guy.
Big, huggable, downy,
soulful, sexy, sweet.

His favorite position was scrunched
between the sofa back and my reclining body,
head propped on my lap.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

His favorite pastime was attempting
to leap sagebrush, all 80 pounds extended,
images of gazelles dancing in him.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

His favorite person was me.
My favorite dog was he.
He was my best guy.
