Cats and Dogs

Maxwell bites the cats feet
when she thinks I am not looking
She wants to make them run
they do.
She wants to be top dog
she is.
she is the only dog
but in her mind she is a wolf from the forest
no matter she only stands twenty inches.

Charlotte or Gracie killed a fledgling
not one single flight will that bird know.
I found it on the walkway
ants taking away its lifeless tomb
leaving only tiny feathers.
Gracie checks the yard for more.
Two cats on the prowl doing what cats do.
Sad though.
