Autumn’s in the air,
leaves are turning brown.
Squirrels are gathering nuts.
birds are heading down
to now-warm southern countries.
Bears will soon be sleeping.
Days are getting shorter.
Cold air comes a’ creeping.
But happy is the dog
that smells fall in the air.
Our coats are thick and warm.
We run without a care.
The smells are fresh and new!
We chase squirrels up the trees.
We smile, those crisp, cool mornings,
and jump in piles of leaves.
Welcome cooler mornings!
Welcome cooler days!
Summer’s finally over,
and Arctic Dogs say YAY!!!

Well said Rumpy!! Autumn is my mostest favoritest season too!

Our dogs just love it when the cooler weather comes, we live in Portugal so even the winter isn’t too cold but it’s cold enough for the dogs to have away days over the hills and far away.
Wow, just great, wish I would be so gifted :o) YAY for fall!!!!
Rumpy Iove your poem and I am pleased that you are happy to welcome Autumn 😉
Reblogged this on delia1979.
Yay, Rumpy… However, down here in Australia we are heading into the warmer months of Spring and Summer… ‘Sweetie’ is losing coat by the handfuls and preparing to be a ‘hot’ dog… Enjoy the cooler months… 🙂
Ah, beautiful poem Rumpy!!!!
🙂
Wow! Your poem is always fabulous! It tells how much you love this cool weather so well!!!
If you are happy, we are happy, too Rumpy!!! 🙂
Such a cool and getting cooler fall poem you guys.. such talent!! c
Yard spiders are creepy! But your smile will keep us warm all fall and winter long, R!!
Love and licks,
Cupcake
I’m excited about Autumn too! Cos Autumn leads to winter and winter means SNOW!!! Or at least I hope it does – can’t really tell for sure when you live in the UK bol
Yes, we love autumn too. Crisp days, great for dog walks.
Super poem, Rumpy x.
Brill poem, Rumpy 🙂 We prefer sun puddles, though!
That is a very sweet poem. This month chinese people celebrate the mid autumn festival on full moon day. It will be the perfect poem to recite on that night, while we sip on wine, eat mooncakes and gaze at the moon.
I’ll be back,

PS come grab a badge from our bloggie. Your creativity can be put to very good use 😉
I am so happy that fall is here! But you know that means that winter is just around the corner. 😉
Even better!
Good one Jenny, love the photo’s too! Fall seems to be creeping in everywhere, here today 23 C which is 73 F…hardly fall temps but the end of next week it’s turning cool….like 6 C or 42 F….yikes, carpe diem.
No cool temps here in Florida…. They say we’ll get some come January.
bahhaaa, January here will probably be -25 C (-13 C), Rumpy Dog might like it, but that’s about it.
Arctic dogs aren’t the only ones saying YAY! My Mom is!!! This summer was HELL for her kidney stones! Barks and licks and love, Dakota
How right you are, Rumpy – these Arctic dogs say “bring on the snow”!!!
Happy weekend.
Woos – Phantom, Thunder, Ciara, and Lightning
We loved your poem Rumpy.
RIP summer but we do understand your delight in Autumn and even winter. What does June Buggy think though?
He only gets to stay inside, so it’s just watching TV to him. *snicker*
Great poem you are very good at poetry! BTW Newfs are as happy as the Article Dogs 🙂
Rumpy it’s Arctic not article 😉
It is autumn here too sweet Rumpy but it still feels like summer. We will be real happy when the hot is gone and we have some cool. Enjoy your weekend. Hugs and nose kisses
Autumn is my favorite time of year. I can go out on my trails anytime instead of waiting until it’s almost dark and cooler. I wish I had some leaves to jump in though. That sounds fun. Great poem, Rumpy.
We love the poem and the photos. Only thing better than Autumn is Winter! Woof from the Berner Girls. xo
Squirrels? Did someone say SQUIRRELS!!!!!
Love the poem, and the yard spiders too!
They are dangerous!!!!
That’s quite good for a dog. Did a cat help you?
Brilliant! What a wonderful and talented poet!!
🙂
woo woo woo!!!!
The yard spiders were a huge hit with my spider-loving five-year-old….”That’s so funny!”
Cute poem Rumpy!
Autumn is here already too.
Fantastic poem!

Yes….I definitely share the enthusiasm! Ice Wolves don’t do so good in all that hot weather…we tend to melt like icecream 😉 Cool mornings and jumping in leaves…now that I can do!
I hope you get to enjoy plenty of cooler nights, rumpydog. Loved your poem.
It’s our favorite time of the year!!!
….but I’m just a little scared of those giant field spiders!
; ) Katie
mew to June Buggie!
YEA! Into the 50’s tonight!
Molly shyly sends a paw wave….she thinks you look eerily similar to her in that last picture
Rumpy, you are so clever, may joy leave you never!
Thanks for the smile.
It’s always a kind of autumn in Holland, so I don’t like it, but with your poem I can stand it 🙂
You are very good at poetry Rumpy! This is my favorite time of year and your poem gets it just right 🙂
Fall is the best time of the year for me too: not too cold, not too hot. Now I bet if you had snow you’d be soooo happy! Thanks for stopping by and liking my post. 🙂 🙂 Sandra
