Iguana

I`ll never forget the Saturday

that Larry brought you home to me.

At 29 gms you were smaller than a remote control.

We strengthened your arms & legs

by having you walk on a pillow.

The vet wasn't`t sure you would survive,

but you did.

What joy love & happiness you brought me.

Anybody that ever saw you was

amazed by your beauty & presence.

At times you could be "territorial"

with some people,

but never with me.

It was funny to see some repairmen

look so frightened when they first saw you.

By then you were the size of a "dachshund".

The vet thought you got so big because

you were never in a cage or aquarium.

You took over our big bedroom.

When you died you weighed over 18 lbs.

You were never sick

but one day you suddenly died.

You meant everything to us.

We miss you everyday.

It's been over a year since you left us &

I'm still heartbroken.

You are our lovebug our bullyboy our creampuff.
