Harvey, 13
Texas
Rawson Sanders
I would like to thank Mrs Warrick My mom My dad And Mojo
My Sunshine
The tick tack of Mojo’s claws
on the tiled floor
trotting behind the other dogs
He can’t even trot straight
just too old to be happy
depressed and so was Chewy
He could not run or play
He still went on walks
but short quick
cold foggy walks
Mojo stayed home
at the door
with echoing whines
or he just stayed in his bed
He mainly stayed
in his comfortable and warm bed
and was not very active
In his prime he was absolutely insane
He would chase jackals
off my grandpa’s farm
He would attack squirrels and otters
He chased dangerous animals
barked at cows
He killed so many chickens,
which was not so good
In the warm sunset,
when the jackals came out with the buck,
you would chase the jackals away,
barking at them with Chewy
You were teaching her
how to protect a family
Mojo,
you are my sunshine
