   that was so cute it made me tear up a little

   this is a perfect time to share one of my favorite poems by Mark Doty:

   “Golden Retrievals”

   Fetch? Balls and sticks capture my attention
   seconds at a time. Catch? I don’t think so.
   Bunny, tumbling leaf, a squirrel who’s — oh
   joy — actually scared. Sniff the wind, then

   I’m off again: muck, pond, ditch, residue
   of any thrillingly dead thing. And you?
   Either you’re sunk in the past, half our walk,
   thinking of what you can never bring back,

   or else you’re off in some fog concerning
   – tomorrow, is that what you call it? My work:
   to unsnare time’s warp (and woof!), retrieving,
   my haze-headed friend, you. This shining bark,

   a Zen master’s bronzy gong, calls you here,
   entirely, now: bow-wow, bow-wow, bow-wow.
