Oliver brought a lady friend to the dog park pond today!! We’ve been friends for 5 years. Everyone meet Laurel 🦆 The gentle monarch vs. the wild-hearted dancer, each with their own rhythm, yet somehow moving in harmony.Oliver & Laurel: The Noble Duck & The Water DancerOliver:“The pond is glass, the sky is clear,I glide with grace, I lead with cheer.No need for haste, no cause for fuss,The water bends to follow us.”Laurel:“The water bends? Oh, is that so?Then watch me send it up in throws!A splash, a dive, a tail flipped high,The pond is not just glass—it flies!”Oliver:“A queen need not disturb the tide,A leader moves with quiet pride.Yet here you dance, all wild unrest—Is stillness not the wiser test?”Laurel:“Stillness? Bah! The sky is wide,The pond’s too big to simply glide!Why float when I can flip and spin?Why rest when I can leap within?”Oliver:“Then dance, dear Laurel, dance away,But hear me when the ripples sway.For even waves must find their shore,And even winds must spin no more.”Laurel:“Oh, Oliver, you noble thing,Your wisdom wraps you like a wing.But I am laughter, light, and flight—And I will splash into the night!”And so they move, a pair unmatched,One still, one free, yet both attached.The noble duck, the water’s queen,A perfect pair—serene and seen.
