Pekingese

Pekingese are beautiful.

They have more coat colors,

coat textures,

and spiritual senses

in their long history

than any other breed I know of. 

I have elevated their status above

an inadequate common designation,

thought by others as “dogs” ...

so much more than mere “pets”.....

to being my caring friends of a different species ....

my comparative psychology research individuals....

my photographic models....

my subjects of literature and poetry....

and my primary way of meeting new friends....

those who share in common...

a love for the Pekingese dog breed ....

they are not my whole world....

but they do make my world complete....

very satisfying ....

they cost me a small fortune....

since one then another is never enough....

they are the luxury I allow myself....

they're my family home companions....

keeping me safe, secure, and spiritually sensitive.
