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 had not brought fleas into the house? Without anti-flea
medicine, I could not get them off of me after you left me in the yard
for days. Would I still be at home if I had not barked? I was only
saying, I'm scared and I'm lonely out 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......
