I Have Three Favorite Pets- Pet

My three sweet boys passed within one year, a Golden Retriever, white fluffy bunny and a Pug. When I think of each memory I still wipe a tear, and my delicate heart strings rip apart and are tug. That Mugsy was so lazy with a stubby curly tail, Bo was gentle, but arthritis made him slow as a snail. Lucky my bunny always ate apples and kale. But really all in one year? How could God let this be? At times I feel I did something wrong to deserve the pain. But it wasn't until my eyes opened recently with clarity I saw I must allow all the happy moments to remain. Mugsy with his yellow ducky that on purpose he'd drop, and when I caressed Bo I wished to never stop. Oh, just watching my bunny Lucky hop, hop, hop! I watched them all take their last and final breath, picturing them running across the bridge with glee. For even though I feel the sorrow from their death, I know they are in heaven with loved ones in harmony. They each were so special to my family and I, and yes when I see thier scrapbooks I still do cry. I have been really trying hard lately not to ask why. To Mugsy, Bo and Lucky I dedicate this poem to you, may you finally be in peace and free from disease. I shall live the rest of my life and when it is through I know the pain of losing you three will cease. I pray you haven't forgotten your mumma on earth, and are barking and hopping full of gaiety and mirth. Don't ever forget, to me, you were much worth. No, I cannot pick just one pet- for I have three I shan't forget! 1.) Pug- Mugsy 2004-2018 2.) Golden Retriever- Bo 2005-2017 3.)
