Your dog

A beautiful poem I read this morning.

I adopted your dog today

The one you left at the pound

The one you had for seven years

and no longer wanted around.

... I adopted your dog today

Do you know he's lost weight?

Do you know he's scared and depressed

and has lost all faith?

I adopted your dog today.

he had fleas and a cold,

but don't worry none.

You've unburdened your load.

I adopted your dog today.

Were you having a baby or moving away?

Did you suddenly develop allergies or was

there no reason he couldn't stay?

I adopted your dog today.

he doesn't play or eat much

He's very depressed, but

he will learn again to trust.

I adopted your dog today.

And here he will stay.

He's found his forever home

and a warm bed on which to lay.

I adopted your dog today.

And I will give him all that he could need.

Patience, love, security, and understanding.

Hopefully he will forget your selfish deed

I bought my animals when I was 19. I didn't understand about the industry I was supporting. When my animals do pass on I will not be buying another. My future fur babies will come from a much better place, the pound/RSPCA/AWL. These are the animals that need and want my love and care. (Plus I never want to go through the puppy/kitten stage again!) I will always adopt my precious family members now, and I will give them their forever home gladly.
