    Loving….Whatever: Alienation, Neoliberalism and Pet-Love in the Twenty-First Century Heidi J. Nast1 International Studies Program, DePaul University, Chicago, USA Email: [email protected] I French-kiss my dog all day & night and sometimes in the morn, Uptown folks with sideway glances turn away and scorn. As if it’s doggy-porn But it’s true love, the best I’ve known I stopped kissing frogs because I’ve grown. And if you think it isn’t good I’m sure you’ve just misunderstood. Try it first; I know you should. French-kissing my dog melts my troubles away As if dog spelled backwards has something to say. 1 © Heidi J. Nast, 2006. Loving . .Whatever: Alienation, Neoliberalism and Pet-Love in the Twenty-First Century 301 What works for me will work for you Get rid of the zanax and prozac too. Why pay the therapist all that dough? When it’s the magical doggies we really owe. Spend it on doggie-treats tied up with a bow. For they will love you no matter what I know it’s embarrassing when they sniff your butt. Those loving eyes, those wagging tails Are quite impossible to resist, Let’s not forget those floppy ears Just waiting to be kissed. Think of the good-lovin’ that you have missed. Go to the pound & adopt today, You won’t be sorry or have cause to dismay. Oh my God I love doggies & can’t get enough Although French-kissing my dog Leaves my lips very rough. A small price to pay for this limitless love Doggies bring the olive branch So forget the dove.
