Into the coffee bar I go,
Walk to the counter,
Order my coffee
Then walk to my table.
That is when I see her,
And she sees me.
She is all excited
Pulling on her lead,
Trying to reach me.
My coffee goes on the table
And I go towards her.
She jumps as I reach her,
The joy she shows is so wonderful.
I put my hands on her
And stroke her,
Both gently and roughly.
She is in her own world,
Her own world of joy
When I touch her.
Touch to anyone is wonderful
But to Stella it is so much more,
It shows love for all,
For all who are with her.
Such a loving dog
Who makes her owners
So very proud of her,
And the love flows
From them to her,
And from her to them.

- Comment from author about the poem: The dog is one I see in the Coffee Bar regularly, her owner stroked her fur into the peak you can see so I took a picture and wrote some words. I gave them the poem and went up for my coffee, she thanked me and said the poem had brought a tear to her eye - I didn't think it was that bad!

I have always loved dogs and i see the very spirit of dog within your words today.
I enjoyed the pink panther variation. Have you heard this remake of an old theme tune?

Thanks d a.
Never heard that tune played like that before but it is very good, I like Stan Getz in spite of the 'ructions' in his life.

Oh lol, fine write and pic Gold.
We have a neighbour's cat - one of a pair. It turns up for food and sleeps a while. It makes a big fuss for food. He can get bit greedy.
Thanks Orchi. Cats are arrogant creatures.

As a dog lover the poem on Stella reached into my heart dear Andy -- her owners must be so happy with your lovely poem and hope she can go on greeting you for many more times to come.
Thank you Fay. Stella is only two years old so I am sure she will be greeting me for many years to come.

BRIAN HERE ~ Bon Apres Midi ~ Mon Oncle Andy. Loved the VIDEO it revoked many happy memories of PINK PANTHER Films. Love the Picture & the Poem. Despite being a *Cat Person* I have to admit the Dogs do have a special affinity with MAN ~ especially if you stroke them the right way. I often see Dogs in a CAFF and always say hello and give t hem a PAT & a STROKE ! The only CAT one sees in a CAFF belongs to the owner and thereby hangs a tail ! For our Seniors Group @ College (Silver Surfers) a Lady comes with a PAT~DOG. Who greets and is patted by everyone (The DOG not the Lady ! She dedscibes her visits to *Rest Homes* (where the Residents cant have a Dog or Cat ~ C*est la Vie) and the Staff say some Residents come alive again *When the DOG comes in !*
Blessings & Peace & Joy to Y ou & Yours
Love Angela - Brian - Smokey Cat ! ! !
Dogs can have that affect on people, a dog used to go into the care home where Joyce was and it always lifted people's hearts.
