My Crazy Family

My mom and dad are insane... We have five foster-siblings right now. That is the same amount of permanent fur babies who live at my house. Yikes! Rescued animals make the best pets because they get to be house-trained and live with humans and other animals before you adopt. Plus, they get vetted. Are you interested in a new family member? If so, just look at the adoptable critters on my page. Woof!

Beyond the Kennel Door

As a pup I dreamed and wondered
What life would hold in store.
For me, I thought, there's something great!
Beyond that kennel door.
Out there are needy people
And I have much to give;
Love, and wit, and gentleness
To help them learn to live.

I'd be someone's protector,
Keep little ones from harm,
Or guide an old man's weary steps,
Or help to run a farm.
I'd run and bark and jump and play
With friends along a sandy shore,
I'd roll in meadows thick and green
That lie beyond that kennel door.

I'd lay there waiting -- longing--
As the days and years went by.
My owner kept me fed and brushed,
But inside, he let me die.
I do not think of greatness now,
I'm old and filled with pain.
My owner has some ribbons,
But I have lived in vain.

I cannot think what could have been,
My dreams are filled with hope no more.
Just floor and walls and broken heart
BEHIND THIS KENNEL DOOR!!!
