Owning a Karelian Bear Dog [by Mitch Sisskind]

May be an image of dog and outdoors

You’ve bought a Karelian Bear Dog,
Now what? Does it have a name?
Does it have a place to sleep? Food?
Water? If you have a summer home
Far from the city’s hurly-burly then
I am quite sanguine about prospects
For excursions thither but mind you
There will be fleas! So do you still

Want the Karelian Bear Dog now?
Kierkegaard said of marriage that
You’ll regret it if you do but also
If you don’t and the same goes
For owning a Karelian Bear Dog,
It’s basically a roll of the dice.
