Do I Go Home Today?
My family brought me home one day 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, they 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 and snuggle in the sheets.
I used to go for walks, often several times a day. They even fought to hold my leash, I'm very proud to say.
These are things I'll never forget - a 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 I would grab a rag, for hours we would tug. So I thought I did the right thing when I chewed the bathroom 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 a shelter but were embarrassed to say why. They said I caused an allergy, and kissed me goodbye.
If I'd only had some classes, as a little pup, I wouldn't have been so hard to handle when I was all grown up.
"You only have one day left", I heard the worker say. Does this mean a second chance?
Do I go home today?
