Dog in Bed

hey guys I just found something very interesting in "Dog in Bed". I noticed that sometime the author referred to the dog as "You" as if she was talking to him. In the second stanza i also thought that the dog was an old friend because old people always shift and groan. So I thought that she was comparing a dog to her father or her grandpa. To me the second stanza is like one whole hidden metaphor.

I hope this gave more ideas.

Matt's Pesonal conection

Hey everyone!

When I was reading this poem, it really showed me how one can love a dog so much.  

In this poem Joyce Sidman expressed all her feelings not just saying them but putting them into metaphors and sensory images.  Marc l. pointed out a very nice metaphor that described some

thing that was special about the dog.  I think most of you guys have a dog, cat or any type of pet that you love at home.  Well, I have a dog so I can really relate to this poem well.  Because every night my dog is my room and its  a nice feeling.   You might have different traditions you do with your pet but, I think Joyce Sidman wasn't just basing it on a dog, she was  trying to express the feeling of having a pet that you love.
