My Little Butchy Boo Boo Poem by Emma Jane Rae

More than 6 years of your life,
Hurt, abused and locked in a cage,
Leaving me angry,
and full of rage,
Not allowed to play,
But made to fight,
Why did they never,
Treat you right?
Then you were rescued,
And took to the shelter,
But still no-one could see,
You were an absolute belter,
Until 18 months later,
I saw your face on the net,
I fell in love instantly,
And my mind was set,
Rob said " get him,
We'll have him of course, "
But our landlords a fool,
and wasn't so sure,
He said "No Pets, "
And "No questions asked, "
But my Dad had a plan,
And we had the last laugh,
On 10th September 2017,
Dad gave in,
Also very keen,
He said he would take him,
Give him a home of his own,
No longer in a cage,
No longer alone,
He was shown true love,
He was completely adored,
Walked and played ball,
And never left bored,
He stayed at my house,
At least 3 times a week,
Always twitching his ears,
Every time that I speak,
Waiting for Rob,
Just to love him to death,
Washing his face,
And nuzzling his neck,
Sleeping in our bed,
Cuddling up on our couch,
Using your blankies,
When you wanted to slouch,
Chasing rabbits in the garden,
In the darkness of the night,
Terrorising next doors dogs,
Was the funniest sight,
Not too impressed,
When 'Bathies time' came,
You'd sit with that face,
That said "Not again! "
Shaking your butt,
Splashing water afar,
Not a minute went by,
When you didn't make me laugh,
Scared of spiders,
But chased all the birds,
Bullied by a butterfly,
How very absurd,
Now your in heaven,
And theres a hole in my heart,
A hole that you filled,
Right from the very start,
I don't think my heart,
Will ever repair,
I miss your tilted head,
And the look of your stare,
I miss the smell of your ears,
And the touch of your paws,
I just hope you know,
How much you are adored,
My eyes haven't stopped,
sprouting these tears,
living this life,
In this real life fear,
Left absolutely heartbroken,
Crushed and so sad,
Feeling the same,
As Rob, Elaine and Dad,
I love you so much,
Devastated that you've gone,
I cherish all of you,
And forever I will mourn,
My Best Boy,
My baby it's true,
I'll love you forever,
My little Butchy Boo Boo!
