Dear Author,
Your wonderful thoughts and story lift me! Puppies in springtime warm our hearts as the springtime temperatures warm the rest of us! A perfect choice of picture for your poem about a puppy's wish to "nose" in one's lap! My best in this contest, Deborah

Awww, what a wonderful surprise it would be too, especially for a child.
Dogs weren't named man's best friend for nothing.
A dog's biggest joy in life comes from pleasing its owner and they live for no other reason than to serve our needs.
There is a very good reason that D-O-G spelled backward reads God.
Best of luck to you in the contest.

Puppies and kittens, like little gremlins, looking so interested and serious. And then, there's their curiously. For being so young and so small, it's amazing what they can get into. At the same time they chew or claw up a two thousand dollar couch, they still look so adorable. Good luck in the contest.

Ooo I hope Spring is more permanent than a stray pup...we do have a stray cat that follows us everywhere... I digress. Springer spaniel? Nick name that pup Spring... if it had a red coat.. Rusty Spring...

God bless

    I really like your suggestion of ?Spring(er) Spaniel? as a name for the pup. Many thanks for sharing my 5-7-5.

Met the contest requirements and I think a pretty good mental image with your post. Accompanied with appropriate artwork. It all seems to work. Good luck! Bill

What a fun, interesting and very unique metaphor for spring. You're right that, after a long hard winter, the arrival of spring can certainly take you by surprise, like the touch of an unexpected stray puppy. I like the specificity of the description of the puppy "nos[ing] into your lap." Good luck in the contest.
