Thanks, Fliss. A house named Sirius? Were they serious? I'm pleased you liked "The Dog Star" and "Cosmic Canines" and I appreciate your saying the rhyme scheme works for that one. Thanks also for reading all those others.
"My dog is a real character" is a huge understatement. I have, indeed, written a lot of dog poetry. My first big project, in fact, was writing a whole book of them, mostly limericks but also other forms in iambic meter. After about three years, I got enough material for a collection, which I had published with a print-on-demand company. (It came out in 2003 and revised in a Second Edition in 2005.) A few years ago I decided to let it go out of print. The title of the book was There's a Dog in the Heavens!: A Universe of Canine Verse.
Have a great weekend!
Martin
