A DOG'S HOPE
Treat me kindly, my beloved friend, for no heart in all the world
is more grateful for kindness than the loving heart of mine.
Do not break my spirit with a stick, for though I should lick your hand between blows,
your patience and understanding will more
quickly teach me the things you would have me learn.
Speak to me often, for your voice is the world's sweetest music,
as you must know, by the fierce wagging of my tail when the sound
of your foot steps fall upon my waiting ear.
Please take me inside when it is cold and wet,
for I ask no greater glory than the privilege of sitting at your feet.
Keep my pan filled with water, for I cannot tell you when I suffer thirst.
Feed me clean food that I may stay well,
to romp and play and do your bidding to walk by your side
and stand ready, willing, and able to
protect you with my life, should your life be in danger.
And, my friend, when I am very old and no longer enjoy good health, hearing,
and sight, do not make heroic efforts to keep me going.
I shall leave this earth knowing with the last breath that I draw
that my fate was always safest in your hands...
I will always be your BEST FRIEND.

A Dog Sits Waiting
By Kathy Flood
A dog sits waiting in the cold autumn sun,
Too faithful to leave, too frightened to run.
He's been here for days now with nothing to do
But sit by the road, waiting for you.
He can't understand why you left him that day
He thought you and he were stopping to play.
He's sure you'll come back, and that's why he stays
How long will he suffer: How many more days?
His legs have grown weak, his throat's parched and dry
He's sick now from hunger and falls with a sigh.
He lays down his head and closes his eyes
I wish you could see how a waiting dog dies.
Please Do NOT abandon a Pet.
Give them at least the chance of another home,
by taking them to an animal shelter.
I looked at all the caged animals in the shelter...the
cast-offs of human society.
I saw in their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness and betrayal.
And I was angry. "God," I said, "this is terrible!
Why don't you do something?"
God was silent for a moment and then He spoke softly.
"I have done something," He replied.
"I created YOU.”

A Prayer for Animals Hear, our humble prayer, O God, for our friends, the animals. Especially for animals who are suffering; for any that are hunted or lost or deserted or frightened or hungry; for all that must be put to death. We entreat for them all thy mercy and pity, and for those who deal with them, we ask a heart of compassion and gentle hands and kindly words. Make us, ourselves, to be true friends to animals and so to share the blessings of the merciful. |
CAT Owners Food for Thought
Would you think it is alright if a dog in your neighborhood killed 1 or 2 cats every
week?
If you are like most of us the answer is absolutely not!
It is also NOT acceptable that your well fed cat
should go out every week and kill birds and other wildlife!
Keep you cat indoors! Not only will your cat be safer,
but they cannot kill and injure birds and other living things.
If you insist that your cat must be allowed to roam outside,
please have them wear a 'stretch' collar with a small bell and a small ID
tag..
(For the safety of the cat, the collar should be 'stretch'.)

Dogs and Cats are the friends we can only
aspire to be.
They always run to greet us. Always wait patiently for us to return.

Don't Breed or Buy While Shelter Pets Die
!
Many people who breed say it is alright because they find homes for 'their'
animals but many of these animals end up at shelters. ALSO for every home where
they place an animal, there is then ONE LESS HOME and this means that
ONE MORE DOG AT A SHELTER DIES for lack of a home!!!
Please, Don't Breed .... Don't Buy.
