Pictures of the chaos critter crew with a few rhyming lines or two.

There is nothing better than a close up cuddle with one of your critters when you are having a rough week. I am not sure why it is, but even when they are brats, it just helps. And for some reason, I am writing very odd poems for each. I am going to go with I am more tired than I like to admit.

Chaos Critter Close Ups

Fluffy

We will start with Fluffy.

Fluffy isn’t fluffy but her word is law.
So we sit and wait for her to grow wings and fly.
For a dragon is never done changing the world around them.

Aki

She was the first.

Aki is the princess. The queen of all she sees.
Her sneezes make the windows rattle.
Like her wheezes.
But don’t tattle.

Beleth

He hung around.

Beleth latched onto Tod.
At first, we thought it was very odd,
But then we learned it his true goal
To have a cuddle.

Crokell

He was the fastest puppy.

Fast and Furious was his first name.
Something we had little hope to tame,
but them we found out his weakness,
Napping with sleekness.

Dante

This puppy nose is sharp.

Dante dances in place.
Even sitting is a race.
He doesn’t do it to save face,
but his butt will always wiggle in place.
