The Cuteness

Ode 

"The Cuteness"


Power packed 
his small hairy frame
my pug in a winter coat
Loki was his name

Smart as a whip 
always at my feet
I believe he wanted me to trip
that was just his nature

A true companion,
my best friend
him and I the perfect tandem
I am now left all alone

Lively, just days before,
fell ill and lost all his weight
at least I could say goodbye
and hold him as he met his fate

Ferocious yet loving, 
mean but always so sweet.
my little ninja so cunning,
This dog was unlike any other

I have heard him called "Snoop Lion"
Kind of a miniature version of one
others have called him "The Cuteness"
I treated him like my son

I call your name to take you out
when I get home, your not there!
In time my heart will mend
So farewell to you my friend!

I don't know if you have seen "The Master of Disguise" But "The Cuteness" was the dog in that movie. Loki reminded me of that dog!!
