A Home 4 The Holidays

by Mr. Ed — Read all 1,530 poems by Mr. Ed

Monday, December 14, 2015


Poem Artwork
-->I very sadly still find most of my wonderful pets,
On the mean city streets or in the frigid woods;
But wherever homeless pets are, please help us,
To help them, have a Holiday Season, that is good.


The Home 4 The Holidays Campaign
Began out in California, back in 1999
This is the sixteenth year, it is being held
So many homeless pets today, a tragic crime

Animal shelters used to discourage Holiday Adoptions
But far too many people still buy pets from Puppy Mills
Uncaring people still purchase expensive Holiday Gift Pets
Even though all of our animal shelters are all overflowing still

So today, over 3,500 animal shelters and rescue groups participate
In the Blue Buffalo Home 4 The Holidays Pet Adoption Campaign
The goal this year is to find new homes for one and a half million pets
Which are languishing in animal shelters, filled with loneliness and pain

If your very own family intends to get a new family pet member over the Holidays
Or if any of your neighbors in your community intend to soon add a brand new pet
Please encourage everyone that you know to Adopt-Not Shop, this Holiday Season
It’s time to help America’s abandoned and homeless pets, have the best Holiday yet

All of America’s Overflowing Animal Shelters
Are Now in Dire Need of Both Adopters and Donations
Please Click On The Link Below To Find A Shelter Near You
And Please Help, Any Way That You Can

I've seen some commercials on T V
Showing heart braking sights of homeless
Dogs very sad to view my son has had
3 retrievers all from shelters great dogs
Once love is shown to them I walk the present one
3 times a day take for good walks 1 mile each walk
He's getting up in his age now, sometime
After doing his thing he don't feel like walking
So I take him back home to relax.... & treat
Peace be with you
Merry Christmas

William

The pet population problem should be a fair weather warning of the human population problem. It seems we are focusing our attention on the wrong thing when we use cheap consumerism as our guide for everything we do, from acquiring puppies, to acquiring our basics for life. Behind the scenes, bad things are being done to feed our desire for cheap, uniform products that are just like, "the Joneses.

Dangerous stuff, starting with dogs, but coming to roost with humans from our own ignorance.

Keep trying to inform, Ed.

Ron
