Baggage

Now that I'm home, bathed, settled and fed,
All nicely tucked in my new warm bed.
I'd like to open my baggage
Lest I forget,
There is so much to carry -
So much to regret.

Hmm...Yes, there it is, right on the top
Let's unpack Loneliness, Heartache and Loss,
And there by my leash hides Fear and Shame.
As I look on these things I tried so hard to leave -
I still have to unpack my baggage called Pain.


I loved them, the others, the ones who left me,
But I wasn't good enough - for they didn't want me.
Will you add to my baggage?
Will you help me unpack?
Or will you just look at my things -
And take me right back?


Do you have the time to help me unpack?
To put away my baggage,
To never repack?
I pray that you do - I'm so tired you see,
But I do come with baggage -
Will you still want me?

Not so good news... well maybe not so bad...

My foster brother Cruiser tells me that our foster mommy and daddy are going away for a week starting late next week and I don't know what that means for me. I am so happy I got rescued and brought to this nice home and it would sure be nice if I got along with everybody but I just can't stand other doggies! I guess I am going to be sent away too, to where I don't know. And I won't be surprised if I don't go back to my foster mommy and daddy's home again because I don't get along with thier other doggies (my foster brother Cruiser, Boris, and Rascal). I sure would love if they took me back. I sure love laying on my foster mommy's lap up on the couch. But I don't kn0w what is going to happen. Hopefully some nice family will adopt me soon and I can go home to stay. Oh I hope! I hope! There's gotta be a nice family out there that wants to take me home! I sure would make a great companion as long as I am thier only companion! I may be older but I still have a lot of spunk left in me. :)
