The thaw begins, a gentle sign, The earth awakes, a scent divine. My tail wags fast, a happy blur, I feel the joy, I feel the stir. A rustle near, a flick of grey, A squirrel darts across the way. My paws take flight, a playful chase, Pure, simple fun, a happy pace. -Buck If your canine family member has been a guest at Buck's favorite mountain retreat -- send Buck a photo of your dog's stay at Hinterlander . Be sure to include name(s) and any details Buck or his humans should know. - Thank you! Below are some of the dogs, puppies, and pooches who have stayed at Hinterlander... Some archived submissions ... A squirrel in the oak took her stance, With a twitch of her tail, she’d advance. The dog barked and leapt, But the squirrel just crept, In a dizzying, wild game of chance. “Oh puppy, you think you’re so spry, With your barks and your jumps in the sky! But swift as a breeze, I dance through the trees, While you’re left in a cloud of a sigh.” “Just watch as I scurry and play, You’ll never catch me, not today! I’ll tease and I’ll taunt, With a flick and a flaunt, While you huff in a most comical way!” - Trixie the Squirrel Buck invites fellow canine poets to submit their haiku, poems, free verse, etc. Poetry and artwork done by human puppies (aka kids) is also welcome -- especially if it features wildlife or the mysterious and elusive local gnomes.
