i admit i love you more
than the other, the one
we brought home healthy
from the shelter, the one
never under quarantine
to prevent contamination,
your tired body touched
only with gloves
those first four days
which i am still making up
to you, the one i love
more
mareymercy. 
Beautiful!
Thank you Uma!
Pretty little poem. What are these two friends’ names?
Sprocket is the pup pictured, and Penny is his sister. They’re both shelter dogs.
The photo just kills me. You have the same demure expression, and it makes the apologetic tone stand out that much better.
Just found out the poor guy has to have knee surgery next. He’s just a mess but we love him dearly.
