Ode To Stubby January 8, 1997 With all the abuse You suffered before It stopped the moment You came through the door We tried everything Then tried it again Your damage too severe To live with the pain I held you and cried While you took your last breath Your short life was painful But not your quick death Now your old life has ended But a new one's begun In golden, warm meadows You'll play in the sun Goodnight my love, my precious Stubby. We'll miss you. Mom (Diane), Dad (Steve), sister (Tara) and your fuzzy family at Last Chance Ferret Rescue [Posted in FML issue 1816]
