How I miss you, little friend of
mine. . .let me know your being is
near; know I will always keep you
in this heart of mine, sweetest dear
You were a tiny bundle of
fur the color of cream satin,
I loved to cuddle you close to
my heart until you closed your eyes
Your tail was forever bent by
cruelty of those who had you
before you came to live with me
But soon you seemed to heal a bit
Short were the years you were here with
me on this earth, never enough
You taught me through your illness, dear,
to be strong, sure - even tough
You and Amber were my children
teaching me I could love again..
So, my little darling, I swear
to come and be with you again

I so agree that our pets are our children!! And the penalty for abusing them should be much greater that it is! This is a wonderful tribute to them.

Hi mum, this is a beautiful write for your little ones, it's hard when we lose our pets, they do become our children in a way, I know my little fluffballs are to me...you had some tender moments to cherish together, and they know they were loved very much...you'll always miss them, your heart has been broken through their loss, but they will be frolicking together as they wait for their mum...I love the photo you've put up, is it Rascal or Amber?
All my love

Awwweee... how sad and touching.
They say that dogs are mans best friend... so that must be true of any kind of animal. ferrets are cute and cuddly little creatures. I am so very sorry for your loss my sweet friend. Sometimes that is the hardest part of having an animal.. is knowing they will be gone before you. I have had a couple cats disappear this year, that were very close to my heart.. My white cat (who's name coincidentaly is Rascal) and my black and white one named Stupid(for lack of a better name.. but we loved him very much) Both have gone and I have no idea where to. I think the worst part is not being able to say goodbye.
Anyhow.. I loved the way your poem flowed.. with love and feeling. This is going to be a very hard contest to judge..Thank you so very much for entering your lovely poem!!! 
Love,
