I think it's a good revision, Glenn. It combines the strengths of different versions.

What Hilary said. You made good selections from the smorgasbord of advice. (And started well on your own, too.)

Hi, Hilary and Julie—

I appreciate you both stopping by. Thank you for your encouragement. I’m glad you liked this piece.

I've procrastinated too long this time, and you have done a fine job of leashing (or is it unleashing) the poem to say some things that especially dog lovers like me can intuit.

So I won't stay long except to say you had me eating out of your hand at the title. The inclusion of the word “With” says it all. I must remember to walk with my dog.

You've transformed the original God-centric conceit into something more ethereal and it welcomes me in to walk with you.

Btw, I really like the user-friendly way you've tracked the changes.
