-A Recent News Story From Russia-
“He looks like he’s used up
All his nine lives, to get to us.”
Lev Kondratyev
I’ve always been fascinated
By stories about faithful pets
So many, never give up, on us
This is the most amazing one yet
A family had decided to re-locate
They were now moving, 2,000 miles
They gave their cat, to their neighbors
They left their loyal old Karim, behind
A few days after they settled in
They called, to check up on him
To their dismay, they now learned
He had soon vanished – poor Karim
They called, for the next several weeks
There was never any news, about Karim
As the months rolled on, since their move
They began to really regret, they had left him
Now two years later, as Mrs. Kondratyev walked home
She spotted an emaciated old cat, perched on her door
She and her husband simply could not believe their eyes
Karim had somehow found them, he was missing no more
Karim the Cat, now looked like he had been through hell and back
But somehow, he had miraculously located them, traversing 2,000 miles
Somehow, although he’d never even been to the place where they now lived
His steadfast determination to find them, had guided him through his many trials
“He is very happy now, and so are we.
I’ve no idea how he found us,
But I’m very glad he did.”
Lev Kondratyev
If only we humans were as faithful,
To our faithful pets, as they are, to us;
We’d never contemplate abandoning them,
And this bond would be built, on mutual trust.
Imagine the pain and suffering they must endure,
When we so callously leave them, and walk away;
How many of us, would journey this far, for them,
Animals teach me something, just about every day.
