Poem: Cats and Dogs Of Our Journey
Katie
Daddy's girl was she,
Carved out her territory,
Barely room for me!
Accepted mid age,
From a pal with allergies,
Katie the Tabby.
Jake
Even keeled, white Jake,
With one blue eye and one green,
Came along with Kate!
Loved his Mom and Dad,
A whole bunch of cats and dogs,
And we loved him too!
Ninny
Oh rescued wildcat,
With your brown, black, orange swirls,
Sad eyes brought you home.
Seventeen years old,
Without much time for others,
Feisty cat, Ninny.
Alvin
Southern gentleman,
Black Lab and full of loving,
Dignified and true.
What a special dog,
Intuitive and gentle,
No other, Alvin!
Scottie
Golden Scottie boy,
With a runaway Mamma,
Quickly made a name,
Part cat and part dog,
Such a well adjusted guy,
A sweet smile maker!
Aunt Baby
Yellow puppy Lab,
Beautiful, kind and giving,
Raised from just a kid,
Today such wisdom,
Mingled with fun and play,
Wonder dog, Baby.
I feel I have been blessed with the most beautiful fur babies ever in this Mother's eyes! I will always love each of them for the fun we shared, their unique personalities, the lessons learned from each and their unconditional love! These little ditties are dedicated to each one of my kids!
