OMG! That was the funniest thing I've ever read!!!!! Who doesn't like
doggie-suicide? I mean, how original is that? I want my dog to run in front
of a mac truck so I can write about it!!! Woo!

I had a dog like that named Tiger. The guy saw him and went faster to hit
him. It made me so so mad. My brothers and I still love him as much as we
did when he was alive. I miss you and Love you a lot TIGER!

I do not feel this poem is referring to a dog at all. The dog is simply a
metaphor for Carver's failing marriage. Read it again-the clues are seen
everywhere (especially in the part about his daughter).

I feel for the girl who's dog died, if it's true. Raymond Carver is DEAD
(read the first page of the site) so no, I don't think he cares to
capitalize his letters anymore. This poem is about the undercurrent of his
life story, a struggling writer, he finds it morbid that it takes strong
negative feelings to make his mind work, and the screaming woman is no
doubt someone in his life who is pissed that he is writing a poem instead
of consoling his daughter, and when he asks "how long can this go on?" he
is wondering how long he can continue living in this closed-down
non-emotional state where he is emotionally cut off from friends and
family, where no one understands, and in doing so rains anger and disbelief
on him.
