SENTIMENTAL DOG STORIES, POEMS ETC.
TEN
COMMANDMENTS FOR DOG OWNERS
- My life is likely to last 10 to 15 years. Any separation from
you will be very painful.
- Give me time to understand what you want of me.
- Place your trust in me - it is crucial for my well-being.
- Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as
punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainment. I have only you.
- Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I
understand you voice when it's speaking to me.
- Be aware that however you treat me, I'll never forget it.
- Before you hit me, remember that I have teeth that could
easily crush the bones in your hand, but I choose not to bite you.
- Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask
yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, I've
been out in the sun too long, or my heart may be getting old and weak.
- Take care of me when I get old. You, too, will grow old.
- Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say "I can't bear
to watch it" or "Let it happen in my absence." Everything is easier
for me if you are there. Remember, I love you.

 ALONE AGAIN
I wish someone would tell me what it is that
I've done wrong.
Why I've had to stay chained up and left alone so long.
They seemed so glad to have me
when I came here as a pup.
There were so many things we'd
do while I was growing up.
They couldn't wait to train me as
companion and as a friend.
And told me how they'd never fear
being left alone again.
The children said they'd feed me
and brush me every day.
They'd play with me and walk me
if only I could stay.
But now the family "hasn't time",
they often say I shed.
They do not want me in the house,
not even to be fed.
The children never walk me.
They always say, "Not now!"
I wish that I could please them.
Won't someone tell me how?
All I had, you see, was love.
I wish they would explain.
Why they said they wanted me,
then left me on a chain.
