things got scary
pretty quickly, though.
remember when
you used to
play with the rope?
no longer.
you hardly had
that much energy
because every time
you got wired up,
you’d sneeze and cough
uncontrollably.
sure,
you had your moments
of jumping
all over daddy
and trying to lick
his face,
but you never
played with your toys
ever again.
christmas presents
went from toys
to just bones
and treats.
you loved the treats.
but the toys?
well, we forgot
you even had them!
playful was no longer
the right word
to describe you.
energetic was no longer
linked to your name.
adorable? yes.
playful? no.
you had calmed,
in the same way as…
…the cat.
