“I've Got RooneyAll Over Me”
“I’ve got Rooney
all over me,”
says Armando
plucking a yellow hair
from the bottom
of his backpack.
“I’ve got Rooney
all over me too,”
I think.
On my navy hoodie,
on the living room couch
where he sleeps
every chance he gets.
Across the backseat
of my car.
I’ve got Rooney
all over me
in other ways too.
His exuberance
as he yanks off his vest
and dances around the room
inviting me to play.
His intense focus
and eagerness to please
when I put him
on a long stay
and walk across the room.
His huge heart
in trying things
that are hard
or scary for him.
He hates metal bleachers
But he would do them if I asked.
His endless patience
In dealing
with the little ones
as he accompanies
a sad four-year-old to class
Or listens to a six-year-old read.
His huge love
how he bounds across the room
or walks the hall endlessly
with a kid who is
frustrated or broken-hearted.
He just knows who needs him.
Soon Rooney
will leave me.
But really he won’t.
I’ve got Rooney
all over me.

It sounds like Rooney has found a place deep in your heart. You'll have Rooney all over you, for sure. These poems have been a delight. Congrats on a month of poetry (and wonderful story)! As I was reading your final poem, I was struck by how well you know Rooney. From metal bleacher preferences to ear infections to the moments he tries to keep himself together, you have him figured out. I had to wonder what Rooney would say if he wrote these poems. I have a feeling he knows you as well as you know him. I think he'll carry you with him wherever he goes.
And out of curiosity, will these poems travel with him? It seems they would help a new owner to learn so much about this amazing dog.
This is so poignant, Carol. Your repetition of "I've got Rooney all over me" is brilliant, something I imagine so many dog owners will connect to. I hope you send this to be published in some pet magazine. I have loved reading all about Rooney this month!
Rooney is a magical dog for humans who understands, cares, and carries out his mission. You depicted him to be a superior service dog, Carol. I am sure you will miss him because you got him all over you.
Thank you for sharing Rooney with us! I am already heartbroken,
yet uplifted. Thank you also for reaching hard to write every day. Wonderful, inspirational poetry.
Oh, Rooney, what a ride we've had with you this month! Thanks, Carol, for sharing Rooney poems with us all month long. I love his work with your students. He will be missed by so many, but will linger in so many hearts forever.
So beautiful, Carol. Rooney will always be with us. And you will always live in his heart. Love you both xoxo
Beautiful.

I'm Thomas Yi from the United States. I started playing lottery games 3 years ago and I have never won big. I went online to seek help on how I can win big in my lottery games and I saw some nice reviews about Dr Amber who has made different people huge winners in their lottery games with his prayers. I gave it a try and I contacted Dr Amber who told me how and what to do before I can become a big lotto winner and I accepted. He made special prayers for me at his temple and gave me the required numbers to play the lotto game and when I played it, I won a massive $235.4 million POWERBALL jackpot. I was so happy and I chose to receive my winnings in a one-time, lump-sum payment of $160,038,447.27 at Florida Lottery Headquarters in Tallahassee and the balance was given to the store that I bought & played the game from. I would love other people to seek help from him and he can be contacted through WhatsApp/call/text via this number +1 (406) 646-2222 or email on: amberlottotemple@yahoo.com
