My Six Heroes

MacGregor was our first pet dog a cairn terrier, a little bundle of fun being adopted I found home strange my pal MacGregor with me love to run Also in my upbringing growing up had two lovable cats Jinky and Smokey lay on my bed bringing comfort many a night felt safe with real support Then Glen came along full of pace this Collie dog loved to run for stick I was kept fit keeping up with Glen but his life left me far too quick A ginger coloured cat next came to our household which made bright Sandy by name with full of mischief once went to no return at night My very favourite was a black labrador Cora by name, so clever and strong could hear our car a full mile away so affectionate and loving it did belong There you have my six heroes all were special in their own way from them learned many a lesson never forgotten even to this day (Looking back on my childhood and adolescent days on the animals we had and their effect upon my life.)
