Puppy's last words
 

Puppy's Last Words


DEAR MOM AND DAD,
I DIED TODAY.

YOU GOT TIRED OF ME AND TOOK ME TO THE SHELTER.
THEY WERE OVERCROWDED AND I DREW AN UNLUCKY NUMBER.

I AM IN A BLACK PLASTIC BAG IN A LANDFILL NOW. SOME OTHER PUPPY WILL GET THE BARELY
USED LEASH YOU LEFT. MY COLLAR WAS DIRTY AND TOO SMALL, BUT THE LADY TOOK IT OFF
BEFORE SHE SENT ME TO THE RAINBOW BRIDGE.

WOULD I STILL BE AT HOME IF I HADN'T CHEWED YOUR SHOE? I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS, BUT IT
WAS LEATHER, AND IT WAS ON THE FLOOR. I WAS JUST PLAYING.
YOU FORGOT TO GET PUPPY TOYS.

WOULD I STILL BE AT HOME IF I HAD BEEN HOUSEBROKEN? RUBBING MY NOSE IN WHAT I DID ONLY
MADE ME ASHAMED THAT I HAD TO GO AT ALL. THERE ARE BOOK AND OBEDIENCE TEACHERS THAT
WOULD HAVE TAUGHT YOU HOW TO TEACH ME TO GO TO THE DOOR.

WOULD I STILL BE AT HOME IF I HADN'T BROUGHT FLEAS INTO THE HOUSE? WITHOUT ANTI FLEA
MEDICINE, I COULDN'T GET THEM OFF OF ME AFTER YOU LEFT ME IN THE YARD FOR DAYS.

WOULD I STILL BE AT HOME IF I HADN'T BARKED? I WAS ONLY SAYING "I'M SCARED I'M LONELY, I'M
HERE! I'M HERE!" I WANT TO BE YOUR BEST FRIEND.

WOULD I STILL BE AT HOME IF I MADE YOU HAPPY?
HITTING ME DIDN'T MAKE ME LEARN HOW.

WOULD I STILL BE AT HOME IF YOU HAD TAKEN THE TIME TO CARE FOR ME AND TO TEACH
MANNERS TO ME? YOU DIDN'T PAY ATTENTION TO ME AFTER THE FIRST WEEK OR SO, BUT I SPENT
ALL MY TIME WAITING FOR YOU TO LOVE ME.

I DIED TODAY.
LOVE, YOUR PUPPY

Well...I needed a good cry.

that made me cry. whats worse is...its true for a lot of dogs and cats...:(

Oh how sad, Not a good way to say good night!
I hope we have some happy post's out there!
:)
Wishing all of you and your babies a good night!

OMG! Thats so touching. It breaks my heart. Those thought are killers. :eyetearss :sad:

That was sad.

aww that is so sad

what are you tryin to do to me? That was so sad. I have big ol tears rolling.

What a heartbreaking story...makes me so sad to know there are dogs out there that are actually neglected and discarded. Poor little things. *sigh*

What a sad, sad story.

I look at Mitzee and wonder how anyone could treat them harmful. Mitzee is like my child.

There are many people out in this world who need to read it. Shameful isn't it.

that made me really cry and couldnt help but think of the dogs and cats this happens too, and want too rescue them all,death can be a blessing sometimes

Just to let you know that was one of the saddest things I think I ever read, I'm going to give my Bailey a big hug and kiss right now after reading that, my husband is hogging, its my turn!

If I won the lottery I'd print that in a full page ad in every major newspaper in this country.

thats a great idea!

i think that and "How Could You" should be hanging in every animal shelter.

Every time I read these poems I cry. I look at my little heart of my heart pic that is taped over my screen and I just cry!!!!! I think about those poor dear animals in the floods and I cry. I have decided that I must need to clean out my tear ducts every so often and this sure does the trick.
I can only hope that when those 2 legged animals die and go to wherever it is they will go, that the greeter is the biggest, meanest, ugliest, fiercest, hungriest junkyard dog ever born and he is loaded to get dinner..maybe they will get their come-uppance.

i read the first sentence and wanted to cry

:cry: that was so sad. i just looked at misty after i read that and i give her a big hug and i didnt want to let go. i love her so much its like shes my little girl.

I feel the same way! "he's my little boy". My husband tells me that my eyes just light up when I look at or even talk about Gus.

After reading this, I got sick to my stomach. It was really sad. I am so sorry that there are people out there that actually do this kind of stuff. I am sure some aren't even aware. Makes me want to get closer to my dogs!

i knew i shouldn't have read that...my day is shot. dam it...

Ok now I'm sitting here crying that was so sad. Anyone getting a dog should have to read a copy of that before being allowed to take the baby home.

man...no matter how many times I see these posts - I READ them - and then cry again - that one is just way too true and so so sad.... :( I hugged my girls before I could even type this

Such a sad but true poem. :(

There are so many people who get a pet with no idea what is involved in their raising or care. A friend wanted a jack russel terrier until I studied it for her and pointed out that it was such a wild dog and not for her at all. My niece wanted one of my puppies to take back to college with her, I asked her 'how much time do you have to take care of this puppy?' She realized it was 'none.' If people just gave the least amount of thought to getting a puppy it would make all the difference in the world. How big it will be, how much are you really at home. Not just how cute the little puppy is. Pets are not disposable.

I look at my furbabies and it makes you realize how much love you have for them that you just can't picture them in a situation like that (ever). But this is reality for most dogs and cats. It's a sad and cruel world.

That is so sad, but so true! Im dealing with just this right now! My BF's 22 year old daughter moved in with her boyfriend,and she got a puggle,, well 2 months later she getting rid of it,,cause SHE PEES on the floor, SHE IS 3 months old! And her Bf said she has to get rid of her... So she is barely trying to find her a home,,, If she cant " I'll just take her to the pound" !! :mad: So of course this has consumed me for 2 days trying to find this dog a home,,, and she probably isn't trying at all! I printed out this poem, and I'm gonna give it to her! I knew it was a mistake when she got his puppy! SHe can barely take care of herself, let alone another living creature!

Am I mad......YES!!! :mad: :thumbdown

So sad i had to cry.

thanks.....now I need to go get some tissues. that's a good wake-up call letter to post in public. In fact, I'm going to print it out and take it to our groom shop tomorrow morning and post it on our board.
