THE 10 COMMANDMENTS FROM A PET'S POINT OF VIEW

Teach me clearly and with patience. Remember that I don’t speak English. Give me time to understand what you want of me.

Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, school, entertainment, and friends. I have only you.

Talk to me sometimes. Even if I don't understand your words, I understand your voice.

Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget.

Before you hit me, remember that I have jaws that could easily crush the bones in your hand, but that I choose not to bite you or hurt you.

Before you scold me for being uncooperative, obstinate, or lazy, ask yourself what might be bothering me. Perhaps I’m not getting the right food, I’ve been in the sun too long, my heart might be getting old and weak or perhaps I just don’t understand what you want.

Take good care of me when I am old. You will grow old, too.

Remember that I love you. Life is better because we have each other.

" Baggage"  - Author Evelyn Colbath

   Now that I'm home, bathed, settled and fed,
   All nicely tucked into my warm new bed.
   I would 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 re-pack?
   I pray that you do - I'm so tired you see,
   But I do come with baggage -
   Will you still want me?

-Author Evelyn Colbath:
This beautiful poem was written in memory of Jessie, a Scottish Terrier.
She was born into the tragic conditions of a puppy mill; abused, but rescued to live out her life in a loving, 'forever' home before she passed on to the Rainbow Bridge.

When I Got My New Dog...

I asked for strength that I might rear her perfectly;
I was given weakness that I might feed her more treats.

I asked for an obedient dog that I might feel proud;
I was given stubbornness that I might feel humble.

I asked for compliance that I might feel masterful;
I was given a clown that I might laugh.

I asked for a companion that I might not feel lonely;
I was given a best friend that I would feel loved.

I got nothing I asked for,
But everything that I needed.
