I just realized that though Sissy and I take walks in the icy morning she’s always the one to slip while me, the slow, lumbering woman with a cane and constant vertigo is just fine.
Irony
She watches on as feet end up pointing at the sky,
Laughter trying not to burst forth.
Inside she’s wondering just why
Pup’s the one to take the slide.
Breathing In 
No I’m sure there is irony in there some place don’t you think. 🙂 Be careful on your walks, sometimes the ice isn’t so visible.

I know, but it kept surprising me that Sissy was slipping when she has better balance than me.

So cute, my Desirée would slip and slide too.

I keep wondering why I’m so much steadier, but it’s likely that she’s making sure to watch so that I don’t end up in those parts. She’s awesome like that.

When I start working less days, I am going to get a dog…I miss that so much but for now with too many hours away, it’s not fair to be alone.

No, and it’s really hard on dogs. It can be hard on younger cats too, but I’ve only seen that be a problem on one cat because every other cat I’ve seen has had other cats or small children around.

That’s a nice poem. You wondered why the “slow, lumbering woman with a cane” (you) doesn’t slip as often as often as Sissy. I am also a slow, lumbering old woman with a cane (notice I added the “old”) I think it’s because of just that, we are more careful, looking where we put our feet, at least I think that’s the reason why for me.

That is a possibility I hadn’t considered. I’m usually so distracted when we walk sometimes.
