Dedicated To My Sweet Boys

Mugs was always the one so smug, always trying to eat the rug. His tongue hanging out, such dry mouth no doubt- he was the most neurotic pug! Now Lucky Loo was so funny, always had the fullest tummy. Lettuce and carrots, little poop pellets- he was the most hungry bunny! As fat as a hippo was he, needed lipo I would agree. But loved him with pride, always by my side- retriever obese and chubby! A happy home I did provide up until the day that they died. Pellets, plump and tongue, they died way too young- pets made me laugh more than I cried! Syllable count: 8-8-5-5-8 howmaysyllables.com *This may not be the most hilarious limerick, but that's okay, I wanted to write something silly about each of them.* Any Animal or Creature Contest September 1, 2018

luloo, I have 5 dogs buried on my property -- dogs that were a great loss when they passed but their grave sites remind me daily that God loves animals and is pleased when we care for them properly and show them the love they show us. Congrats on your 1st place win
