Bring a beverage, grab a seat, think whole thoughts in seventeen syllables!

A gentle reminder of how we do things: 🐱🐶🐦

Do not troll the diary. If you hate pootie diaries, leave now. No harm, no foul.

Please do share pics of your fur kids! If you have health/behavior issues with your pets, feel free to bring it to the community.

Pooties are cats; Woozles are dogs. Birds... are birds! Peeps are people.

Whatever happens in the outer blog STAYS in the outer blog. If you’re having “issues” with another Kossack, keep it “out there.” This is a place to relax and play; please treat it accordingly.

There are some pics we never post: snakes, creepy crawlies, any and all photos that depict or encourage human cruelty toward animals. These are considered “out of bounds” and will not be tolerated. If we alert you to it, please remember that we do have phobic peeps who react strongly to them. If you keep posting banned pics...well then...the Tigress will have to take matters in hand. Or, paw.

How did I get here?!

Going up or going down -

will I reach my goal?

Hello, Peeps! Thankfully, there are enough folks in this community who enjoy playing with words that I feel very fortunate to have my tangents and whims indulged. So today I’m taking us back to haikus. Let’s see what happens! (Quick review — three lines, seventeen syllables, in five, seven, five). Aaaand — go!

Unwelcome staring,

invading my privacy...

Who are these people?

Gratitude, shyness,

overwhelmed with attention -

there could be blushing!

These names are funny!

But do they speak to the truth

with each description?

Spotty donk has friends!

A dog, and a squirrel, too -

Onward to Bremen?!

Come in from the rain.

You look cold, it makes me sad.

My purr will warm you.

Water is too wet!

Let me in to dry myself,

I might stop frowning.

I don’t take orders.

I barely take suggestions!

You’ll just have to deal.

I can’t tell you why

someone dressed me in vinyl.

It’s afoul of vogue.

Draw near and listen —

The Truth is heard at keyholes.

I’ll tell you secrets.

This is annoying.

Concrete in my footie pads —

someone get it out!

The mud was too slick,

and the camera too quick.

My dignity hurts.

It’s not just for dogs!

Cats, too, can play this game well —

they employ the stairs.

NAWTY disregards!

Poor green folk lying in shards.

Clean up on Aisle Two!

People teeth for dogs?

Photoshop can be so weird —

Ice Age has lost Sid!

Poldi is but small,

yet the cover is smaller.

The owl still gets wet.

Self-reproach and guilt —

I have no flair for stealing.

I must confess all.

I guess that’s it for this time. Y’all keep yourselves safe. And now ...
