Sugar’s First Big Adventure

Sugar was my very first pup, With floppy ears and a tail stuck up. Eyes so wide, full of delight, Chasing sunbeams morning to night. We ran through fields, just her and me, Barking at clouds, wild and free. She’d dig up secrets in the yard, Then zoom around, a tiny guard. She loved the breeze, the muddy streams, And napping deep in dandelion dreams. A heart so big, her joy so loud, My best friend—I was so proud. Through woods we wandered, side by side, She'd sniff the trails where squirrels would hide. Every stick was treasure found, Every puddle her stomping ground. But more than all the fun and play, Was how she loved me every day. Her warm little body curled in bed, Her soft sighs near my sleepy head. Sugar, my first, my brave little soul, Filled the cracks, made my young heart whole. An adventure, a gift, wrapped in fur— A lifetime of love, because of her.
