Haiku Friday with Monty, the Law Dog

When I was at Yale Law, we had a lot of good ways to deal with stress. For example, I lived at the beach some 20 miles away from school, which helped a lot (in fact, I don't remember much stress at all).

Apparently, some people needed a little more, so now the school has a dog you can check out of the library. The dog is named Monty.

I am not making this up.

I'm a little baffled by the whole thing, but it does seem to create a great opportunity to haiku about dogs. You can haiku about any dog-- a dog you used to own, maybe the neighbor's dog, whatever.

My only requirement this week is that the first line be just the name of the dog, and lines two and three be short.

Here is mine:

Monty
Purveyer of slobber
Will you lick off my stress?

Now it is your turn...
