Love and Live for My Little ‘Dumans’
A Dodoitsu poem about my dogs
Dodoitsu poetry is a Japanese form of poetry based on four lines, with seven syllables in the first three lines and five in the fourth line. It often focuses on work, family, or love and includes a touch of humor.
I love to love my doggies,
little creatures that they are,
sometimes a little naughty,
doesn’t get them far.
My own best little buddies,
love them both as they are,
little children that they are,
more like ‘dumans,’ not doggies.
My very own little family,
just the two of them and me,
we do everything together,
we eat, sleep, and play.
Sometimes I sit and wonder,
what goes on inside their heads,
no stress, living a great life,
morning until bed.
Crazy little 'duman' girls,
such a joyous part of life,
living life to the fullest,
morning, day and night.
Till next time,
Calvin

Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.

Aww... Sir, your dumans are soo cute. I swear, I almost wanna cuddle them. Plus, I don't think I can ever fear or hate dogs or (dumans) like them. It's the stray dogs on the streets; They creep me out! I'm almost crying... Why did you post the most cutest photo of them? 😩🤧 I mean, look at Ella 🥺 You know what, I've said "Masha Allah" 10 times after looking at them. Can I cuddle them, Sir? 😄
awwwww that picture!!
Thank you :)
great work
