Some Thoughts While Watching Jack,

During Our Little Canine Pool Party

 

 

“Recollect that the Almighty,

Who gave the dog to be our companion,

Hath invested him with a nature noble.”



Sir Walter Scott

 

 

What a very different canine he is, today

From when I first found him, months ago

He’d been horribly abused and abandoned

He had never found love in any human soul

 

He had no faith in any of us human beings

He was terrified of everyone, and very thin

It took me awhile, to gain his complete trust

It took him a very long time, to finally give in

 

Today, I now marvel at this joyous little canine

He’s finally found great happiness and a home

He loves to play, and romp, and show affection

From our backyard, he now never wants to roam

 

And each and every night when I crawl into bed

He silently jumps up and lovingly kisses my face

I only wish that every dog alive today among us

Could find a little love, from we, the human race

 

 

“He is your friend, your partner, your defender;

You are his life, his love, his leader.

 

He will be yours, faithful and true ,

To the last beat of his heart.

 

You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.”

Amen! I am so glad to see you are still fighting the good fight! I have been signing petitions like crazy thru the ASPCA and the HSUS. I keep sending emails to my "representatives" in Illinois about the horse slaughtering. I know the last slaughter house was shut down here!! It's nice to see your great "Animal Friends" poetry again and it's good to be back!

We "bought" our dog, Casey, from a "cannile" (kennel) four years ago, and she's the best dog...so sweet and so loving. I'm happy Jack has found a loving home!

I think dogs are our source for hope. So trusting even after abuse and neglect. You're a fine man, Mr. Ed. Liz

Indeed they do, Ed, all the Jacks of the world. God sent him to you, knowing he would never have to be frightened or abused again - and in turn, he gives you endless happiness - as it should be. Congratulations to you both! Well done.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Give all your critters a (((HUG))) from me. :)

Reminds me of my Kaiser and his big head resting over one of my feet, sleeping, dreaming, loving each other. People abusing their pets should be shot!
