For My Two Most Precious Pets

Oh, my precious Ollyver -
Glow-brown doggy eyes you set on me.
So adoring was your love!
Know I think of you -wherever you may be.

Too – my precious Callie
Who was my one cat most precious of them all.
Few are other pets that could measure up to 
You – my sweet Calico that I now recall.

A precious tribute to two fine pets, Andrea. I've never written in this form, and at first glance does not seem at all easy. ~ Regards // paul

Great tribute to your pets Andrea. I have a 20lb cat 'Lenny' I have to work 2 jobs just to feed him! I love all animals, but cats are my fave;-)

There is always one or two pets that one will be closer to. I had a wonderful young brown Labrador for three glorious years, but she got leukemia and died - she broke my heart! Loved your poem Andrea! Blessing and hugs, Jennifer.
