My Name Is Okie

My Name Is Okie My name is Okie, and they loved me first; their full attention to me was disbursed. Adopted from the shelter, they gave me a home where I was king, so happy, free. And then it came one unexpected day, perhaps a present with which I should play. Black fur, gold eyes, he was somewhat frisky, but here to stay, so they named him Nixie. He ran around and played with my dog tail; had claws that gripped which I tried to curtail. But what was worse is how they cuddled him; attention now for me was rather slim. But, Nixie settled in, became my friend, and soon I found, with him, I liked to spend my time now wrestling, playing hide-and-seek; my days grew brighter, better, week to week. I'm part Jack Russell terrier, and he, a fun black cat who now, I must agree, is my fine buddy...and at night, we lay on our soft couch with family...hooray! Sandra M.
