Bucky: Observations

composition date 2016.Jan.04 - first day back at office routine after a nice Christmas break.

I spent more time with The Buckmeister recent like, since I had this nice break from law work. Consequently I have come to form some new views, and thoughts, based on spending more time with him.

And here are a few random notions, about the characteristics of this pet.

On occasion,

• the proud and elegant gait of a Lipizzaner stallion.
• the rage and contortions of a Brahma bull, when restrained
• the slapstick antics of a classic Vaudevillian
• the good looks of a Hollywood icon 
• the manic behavior or a crazed meth addict
• the gentleness of a toddler looking for affection
• an incredible range of vocalizations from loud big dog scary bark, to wolf howls, to plaintiff whimpers that mimics humans
• eccentric circling when bored or curious
• an appetite that defies satiation
• a Velcro pet that tracks me relentlessly, save when he exercises
• an independence that makes him oblivious to all entreaties.

Bucky is currently at my feet, prone. Whining for even more attention and play.
I succumb.
