Please be good to our doggy friends.

Love them like they love us--unconditionally.

i will attend you
i will protect you
i will wait for you
and i will love you
unconditionally

though you forget to feed me (again)
though you leave me alone, tied up in the pen
though you get mad and call me "baddog"
though you forget i need a  daily walk/jog

i will attend you
i will protect you
i will wait for you
and i will love you
unconditionally

though you leave me out in heat and cold
though you get tired of my barking and scold
though you get mad, 'cause i chew your shoes
though you give me a bath, say i stink *P.U.!*

i will attend you
i will protect you
i will wait for you
and i will love you
unconditionally

though you didn't sleep, i barked all night
though you forget that sometimes doggies will bite
though you spank me, i peed on the floor
though you forget that doggies like to explore

i will attend you
i will protect you
i will wait for you
and i will love you
unconditionally

though you get mad, beat me with a stick
though you say you'll get rid of me, double-quick
though you don't keep promises you say
though you took me to the pound today

i will wait for you
and i will love you
unconditionally

Y'know, despite all we do to them, doggies have it pretty easy. Sometimes I wish I was a doggie.

People shouldn't have a dog if they
don't intend on taking care of the pet.
Thanks for sharing karla...your friend...Ron

Feeling the most blessed creature on Earth... even when I'm feeling the unhappiest... for the love of my five "unconditionals", I can't but say... with a huge lump in my throat, but with a big smile...
Bless you, sweet friend!
