| I Died Today 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 books 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 had 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 (author unkown)

| Every dog owner that doesn't dote on their baby should have to read this before breakfast, lunch and dinner the rest of their lives. Still wouldn't change some but I'll bet it would others.

| I just don't understand how people can't love their pets unconditionally. I literally can't comprehend it. Even when Rory and Lane are acting rotten (who made them that way anyways ), I still feel like I have the sweetest girls in the whole world.

| Very sad. I went over a year without a nearly fully potty trained pup who chewed everything under the sun & I could never imagine that being a "deal breaker". It was what I signed up for, the great & the bad. I wish people didn't think animals were disposable for any reason.

| I hesitated to read this at work, because I knew it would make me cry,but I kept being drawn back to it. It just simply breaks my heart that so many will get a pet and then just consider it a throw away item, instead of a member of their family. I will never understand that mentality.

| So sad and true. People should really think before taking on a pet if they will be able to keep it under any circumstance
