my old dog’s gone deaf
it happened
practically
overnight.
the vet says
sometimes it
happens that way.
she’s not
in any pain,
and
it doesn’t
seem to bother her.
when she’s
out in the yard,
and i
call her
to come in,
she
sits there,
and
stares at me.
same
as always.
sometimes,
i even forget
she can’t hear me.
actually,
she never really
listened to me, anyway.
in
that respect
her behavior
hasn’t changed one bit.
it seems
old habits die hard.
i’m
just glad
old dogs do, too.
