DO I GO HOME TODAY?
My family brought me home cradled in their arms.
They cuddled me and smiled at me and said I was full of charm.
They played with me and laughed at me and showered me with toys.
I sure do love my family, especially the girls and boys.
The children loved to feed me, they gave me special treats. They even let me sleep with them - all snuggled in their sheets.
I used to go for walks, often several times a day.
They even fought to hold me hold my leash, I'm very proud to say.
These are the things I'll not forget - cherished memory.
I now live in a shelter - without my family.
They used to laugh and praise me when I played with that old shoe.
But I didn't know the difference between the old ones and the new.
The kids and would grab a rag, for hours we would tug.
So I thought I did the right thing when I chewed the bedroom rug.
They said that I was out of control, and would have to live outside.
This I did not understand, although I tried and tried.
The walks stopped, one by one; they said they hadn't time.
I wish that I could change things, I wish I knew my crime.
My life became so lonely, in the backyard, on a chain.
I barked and barked all day long to keep from going insane.
So they brought me to the shelter but were embarrassed to say why,
They said I caused an allergy, and then they each kissed me goodbye.
If I'd only had some classes, as a little pup,
I wouldn't have grown up so hard to handle when I was all grown up.
"You only have one day left." I heard the worker say.
Does this mean that I have a second chance?
Do I go home today?

Oh Sandi. What a post. I just had to say, it kind of made me sad. I may be overly sensitive. I always wonder, like many others, what my pets are thinking.
