Friends, Only Furry

Tooee was a Lab Albino My sons friend was a vet She brought her home one day And Tooee became our pet. She was as white as snow A ball of fur who lived for three years She was a rat, she was the cutest I ever saw She was a peaceful soul, I’ll give her that. The family loved her so My husband took her for walks in the corridor My son would tickle her belly As she lay on her back quietly Enjoying it to the core My daughter would keep her fed She lived inside a drawer. She left us after three days of being sick The vet could do nothing it was just old age She clung to the front of my T-shirt With her little paws,I fed her with a stopper She slept like that, knowing the comfort Of being next to me, my little baby The day she died, my family cried We lost a furry friend, a family member Whose now in Heaven Forever we will remember our Tooee. 10.08.2020

I have had pet rats; wonderfully smart and friendly little critters with far too short a life span. I really enjoyed your poem. xomo!

Hello Carol ... enjoyed your poem for especially the topic about having a rat as a pet. Although rats are despised, a pet is a pet no matter what, and the love shown both ways is unconditional - thank you Carol - Lindsay

Thanks Lindsay......Albino rats are kept as pets....they are the closest to humans and therefore lab experiments are done on the them.They make amazing pets. Much love.
