Hi, I thought you all might enjoy this poem.  I don't know who wrote it so I 
can't give credit--sorry!  I take Raven to work every Tuesday and she does 
her magic on the inpatient mental health unit.  One of the interns looks for 
her every Tuesday and gave me a copy of this today, along with his thanks for 
her staff and patient therapy sessions.


I can't make
any story
about my life

tonight. The house
is like an overturned
wastebasket;

the radio
is predicting
more rain.

I asked my dog
to tell me
a story, and she

never hesitates,
"Once upon 
a time," she says,

"a woman lived 
with a simply
wonderful dog ..." and

she stops talking.
"Is that all?"
I ask her.

"Yes," she says,
"Why do you ask?
Isn't it enough?"


smile and hug your fur babies!     Vicky in Utah
