Foo Foo's Puppy
Fragile Shih tzu pup.
Such large black eyes and thick coat of hair.
Playful in your special pen.
Little boys, oh you little boys, walking by.
Waving your sticks.
Jabbing playfully, laughing.
I stand at my window
and know that I was never so thoughtless.
Never so painfully mean.
The damage inflicted before I observed,
when discovered,
impressed tearful sorrow within me.
She was erratic.
Trembling, scared, with her eyes clouded over.
Blind little Shih tzu puppy.
She was never anything but a joy and she was put to sleep.
