Pets I'Ve Raised

Milk is bad for kitties
Unless its from their moms
When they are itty bitties
They play with all pompoms

Chocolate is bad for puppies
They can get real sick
So if you treat your puppies
Be careful what you pick

Fish will die out of water
Or even from the cold
Make your tank a bit hotter
If it feels real cold

Reptiles need to be heated
So they will stay real warm
When they like how they are treated
They will take your heart by storm

Birds need to have their cages
So they do not fly away
To keep you from some rages
Cause they did not want to stay

Rodents munch on little seeds
Some sleep in little huts
They also eat some weeds
Even munch on little nuts

Insects are the hardest
For me to not creep out
There are so many larvae’s
That I could just freak out

Livestock are so varied
I raised them for the table
With all the weight I carried
It made me very stable

Much thought went into this one about pets and lifestock in your life. Sounds like you have a very busy and full life with the pets. Keep the magical pen flowing. Sara
