Who's Ur Daddy 
Don't forget those in need even if it isn't Christmas A Christmas Shelter Dog’s Poem
’Tis the night before Christmas and all through the town, every shelter is full—we are lost, but not found. Our numbers are hung on our kennels so bare, we hope every minute that someone will care. They’ll come to adopt us and give us the call, “Come here, Max and Sparkie — come fetch your new ball!” But now we sit here and think of the days we were treated so fondly — we had cute, baby ways. Once we were little, then we grew and we grew. Now we’re no longer young and we’re no longer new. So out the back door we were thrown like the trash. They reacted so quickly — why were they so rash? We “jump on the children,” “don’t come when they call,” we “bark when they leave us,” “climb over the wall.” We should have been neutered, we should have been spayed, now we suffer the consequence of the errors THEY made. If only they’d trained us, if only we knew, we’d have done what they asked us and worshiped them, too. We were left in the backyard, or worse, let to roam. Now we’re tired and lonely and out of a home. They dropped us off here and they kissed us goodbye… “Maybe someone else will give you a try.” So now here we are, all confused and alone in a shelter with others who long for a home. The kind workers come through with a meal and a pat, with so many to care for, they can’t stay to chat. They move to the next kennel, giving each of us cheer… we know that they wonder how long we’ll be here. We lay down to sleep and sweet dreams fill our heads of a home filled with love and our own cozy beds. Then we wake to see sad eyes, brimming with tears – our friends filled with emptiness, worry, and fear. If you can’t adopt us and there’s no room at the inn – could you help with the bills and fill our food bin? We count on your kindness each day of the year – can you give more than hope to everyone here? Please make a donation to pay for the heat… and help get us something special to eat. The rescue group that cares for us wants us to live, and more of us will, if more people will give. – Author Unknown
RESCUE ONE UNTIL THERE ARE NONE!
We will not tire,
We will not falter,
and WE WILL NOT FAIL
A PET'S TEN COMMANDMENTS
1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years.
Any separation from you is likely to be painful.
2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.
3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being.
4. Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainment, but I have only you.
5. Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me.
6. Be aware that, however you treat me, I will never forget it.
7. Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you and, yet, I choose not to bite you.
8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, I have been in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old or weak.
9. Please take care of me when I grow old. You too, will grow old.
10 On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can't bear to watch.
Don't make me face this alone.
Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so.
To this we shall always be true,
every day, every minute,
every dear dog, each one,
I will be there always!
