Miley Cyrus
has been hospitalized
since Tuesday night
(no not from OD'ing
on twerking while
sticking her tongue out
though it's forgivable
to think that)
due to a severe reaction
to antibiotics.
She tweeted her St. Louis
fans Wednesday morning
since she wouldn't
get to play for them
that night.
But rumor also has it
that she is still in mourning
of the recent death
of her dog Floyd
(reportedly killed
by a coyote).
Her mom Tish Cyrus
bought her a new puppy
named Moonie
but Miley gave it back
because new puppies
can never fully
replace old ones
even after we humans
have done our best to move on
and not all celebrities
regardless of how malleable
they themselves are
think of their pooches
as toys.
