Animal Antics Premiere Contest Winner

One ticket admission to my home z o o! SO many creatures, don’t know what to do- a turtle and a bunny, a stinky pug so funny, a Golden Retriever who lost a s c r e w! The bunny likes smelling the dog’s behinds, too bad he will NEVER know what he’ll find! a grossly dingle-berry, something hairy and scary, “GO find a carrot you’re way out of line!” The pug snuffles and snorts through out the night, then I’m yawning while I’m struggling to write- the turtle has a long neck, I’m always like, “WHAT THE HECK?” then he basks while choking on a termite! You may think my family is distressed, and maybe we NEVER get any rest- a million bucks I won’t take, we have a bond that WON'T break, we do love our z o o that’s quite picturesque! Syllable Count: 10-10-7-7-10 Animal Antics Contest Sponsor: Shadow Hamilton Dedicated to my beautiful zoo: Bo-my sweet Golden Retriever age 11 (dying of cancer :(....) Mugsy-my stinky Pug age 12 Lucky-my white fluffy bunny age 3 Pebbles-my long-necked turtle age 2 Date Written: August 18, 2016

oh no Jo, I'm sorry..I feel like 10 is young for a natural death, but then again I was told pugs don't live past 10 and he is 12. You poor thing, I hate hearing that sad stuff. I hope I didn't upset you....be blessed -luloo

this is SO SO cute. I love animal poems! And it was funny as well, about the bunny. This is like my dang dog, always gong to the cat's litter box. Despicable! I wish I could enlarge the pic of your gold dog. I thought those were puppies around her body but I think they are stuffed animals. sorry about your dog. My best cat I ever owned died of cancer years ago. She lived a very good 18 years.
