DO I GO HOME TODAY?
by Sally Thompson
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 with 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 the
sheets.
I used to go for walks, often several times a day.
They even fought to hold the leash, I’m very proud to say.
These are the things I’ll not forget – cherished memory,
because I now live in the 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 I 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 back yard, on a chain.
I barked and barked, all day long, just to keep from going
insane.
So they brought me to the shelter,
but were embarrassed to say why.
They said I caused an allergy, then they each kissed me
goodbye.
If I’d only had some classes, when I was just a little pup,
then I would have been a better dog when I was all grown
up.
“You only have one day left.” I heard the worker say.
Does that mean I have a second chance?
