10 Things I Hate About My Puppy

I hate the way you run to me.

And the way you lick my feet.

I hate the way you roam around.

I hate it when you do nothing but sit.

I hate your big belly,

And the way your poop goes all smelly.

I hate you so much it makes me sick-- 

it even makes me rhyme.

I hate the fact that you're cute.

I hate it when you don't eat your food.

I hate it when you make me laugh --

even worse when you make me cry.

I hate it that you're not around.

And the fact that you'll forever be gone.

But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you - -

not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.

(Adapted from 10 Things I Hate About You)

For ChuChu. A lovely puppy.

Died 24 December 2010

 Learned how to stand,

never pooped inside the house,

bit my slippers.

You will always be remembered on Christmas eve.
