The Dog Club!

[Lynn49]

As you all may know, I'm in the business of marrying people, so naturally I'm involved in preparing their wedding ceremonies. I always attempt to encourage my couples to place at least a little of their personalities, their love for each other, into their ceremonies, whether it's a poem or song lyrics for the Reading, or the many mini-ceremonies I have that they can incorporate into them.
Well, this past week I met with another absolutely lovely couple who happen to be as snockered about dogs as we are, and chose a brilliant poem for their Reading.

I thought I'd share it with you, and hope you'll all enjoy it as much as I do.



How Falling in Love is like Owning a Dog
by Taylor Mali

First of all, it’s a big responsibility,
especially in a city like New York.
So think long and hard before deciding on love.
On the other hand, love gives you a sense of security:
when you’re walking down the street late at night
and you have a leash on love
ain’t no one going to mess with you.
Because crooks and muggers think love is unpredictable.
Who knows what love could do in its own defense?

On cold winter nights, love is warm.
It lies between you and lives and breathes
and makes funny noises.
Love wakes you up all hours of the night with its needs.
It needs to be fed so it will grow and stay healthy.

Love doesn’t like being left alone for long.
But come home and love is always happy to see you.
It may break a few things accidentally in its passion for life,
but you can never be mad at love for long.

Is love good all the time? No! No!
Love can be bad. Bad, love, bad! Very bad love.

Love makes messes.
Love leaves you little surprises here and there.
Love needs lots of cleaning up after.
Somethimes you just want to get love fixed.
Sometimes you want to roll up a piece of newspaper
and swat love on the nose,
not so much to cause pain,
just to let love know Don’t you ever do that again!

Sometimes love just wants to go out for a nice long walk.
Because love loves exercise. It will run you around the block
and leave you panting, breathless. Pull you in different directions
at once, or wind itself around and around you
until you’re all wound up and you cannot move.

But love makes you meet people wherever you go.
People who have nothing in common but love
stop and talk to each other on the street.

Throw things away and love will bring them back,
again, and again, and again.
But most of all, love needs love, lots of it.
And in return, love loves you and never stops.

Oh, Walks, Walks, Walks.........only you, Hon.......It's going to be incredible meeting you one day when we all get together in Toronto....I am flying down with my hubby when he has another check-up on his pre-cancer, but it's a weekday so I'm guessing they're going to make you work in spite of my arrival. Slave-drivers.

YOU, my Friend...are certifiably bonkers!! But....in the nicest way possible...

Ah yes! We too have a lot of impressive funny noises everynight. Enough so that it has DH leaning over the side of the bed gagging!
