Member dysfunctional household
Friend’s suggestion pet love ‘n hold
Sunday drive friend’s uncle’s farm found
Tri-color age eight weeks ready adoption
Patches puffy hair orange, white and black
Unaware parents catch daughter some slack
Thankful allowed to keep female pet
Youngster no idea ahead what expect
Name ‘Toastie’ reflection breed colors
After day school arrive home discover
Playful, bored ‘n curious utilize claws
Torn strips of wallpaper adorn floor
An antique remembers much ’bout ’60s
Selective memory dates back to the ’50s
Unknown period child allow keep household pet
Passage time visual memories only – details forget
