I'M So Lazy and Sometimes Crazy

I have always been so hopelessly lazy. Stoic and aloof, sometimes psychotic. I can be gentle yet independently crazy, and my mommy says I can be neurotic, but the affection in my family does amaze me. I’m nothing but a lethargic slow pug. Mugsy is my name with a curly tail. I can be so stubborn and very smug, and my sister Ella Rose is my pal. When I was a pup I’d chew the rug! My family treats me like their kid, a child born into a life I love so much. I get timeouts not knowing what I did, but I’ll tell ya, after I love that "guilty" touch. But really? Sent to my bed…God forbid! I swear mommy knows I love human food, I get scraps from the table every night. Even when I’m in a poopy puppy mood, they never get mad or start a fight. Like Ella, I can be sassy and so rude! My tongue always sticking out getting dry. I can't explain why it never fit in my mouth? But my mommy can tell you just why, 'cuz I was so comfy being me in my house. I was always so loved and didn't even try! I feel like my family is heaven sent. I go for walks with my neighbor friends every day on that grey floor called cement. I did pray that my happiness never ends, but I got old, age thirteen, my body spent. March 13, 2018 across the Rainbow Bridge I ran, it was so crazy because on earth I was so lazy. My fur no longer grey but naturally black and tan, and yes, up here everything does amaze me! (Barking loud and walking proud) I know I’ll always be the “Sweet Boy” in my fam.
