He was so sweet and brown and furry.
Many times he was in a scurry.
He was a little one we all adored
with every little bitty word.
"The one and only minji mutt"
had a cute little butt.
Circles to mark the placement of thumbs
So they would not go in his bum.
Micron was rescued from the street;
always running on his four little feet.
A dog that was loved when he was found
is now missed that he is not around.

Rest in peace, Micron Squirt Delaney - circa June 3, 2001 (we suspect at least two years earlier by now) to March 30, 2008 circa 12:30am.

(The pictures were all before he was diagnosed with Addison's Disease. He had to take prednisone pills and get cortisone shots - he had so much muscle and no fat. His little body could not take it and genetics did not play in his favor.)

Bridgette, I can't believe I didn't see this until today. Micron sure was a cutie pie. I'm so sorry you had to say goodbye. You'll never forget the little guy, I know!

Awe so so sad. :(

Aww. Even though my poem to my friend that recently passed said I had a hard time crying, I did bawl my eyes out when we had to put a ferral cat to sleep due to feline leukemia. I think it was because she finally (after 6 years) trusted us enough and was ill enough to let us hold her. It was like "Here kitty kitty." Wham you're dead.
