Teddy Bear

My family brought me home cradled in their arms.

 

They cuddled me and smiled at me and said I was full of charm.

 

They played with me and laughed with me and showered me with toys.

 

I sure do love my family, especially the girls and boys.

 

The children loved to feed me, they gave me special treats.

 

They even let me sleep with them - all snuggled in the sheets.

 

I used to go for walks, often several times a day.

 

They even fought to hold the leash, I'm proud to say.

 

These are the things I'll not forget - a cherished memory.

 

I now live in the shelter - without my family.

 

They used to laugh and praise me when I played with that old shoe.

 

But I didn't know the difference between the old ones and the new.

 

The kids and I would grab a rag, for hours we would tug.

 

So I thought I did the right thing when I chewed on the bathroom rug.

 

They said I was out of control, and would have to live outside.

 

This I did not understand, although I tried and tried.

 

The walks stopped, one by one; they said they didn't have time.

 

I wish that I could change things, I wish I knew my crime.

 

My life became so lonely, in the backyard, on a chain.

 

I barked and barked all day long to keep from going insane.

 

So they brought me to the shelter, but where embarassed to say why,

 

They said I caused an allergy, and they each kissed me goodbye.

 

If I'd only had some classes, as a little pup.

 

I wouldn't have been so hard to handle when I was all grown up.

 

"You only have one day left." I heard the worker say.

 

Does that mean I have a second chance? Do I Go Home Today?

This poem is all to true!

I see this everyday on craigslist it upsets me that people don't do their homework before getting a puppy. They use so many excuses that could of been avoided by reading one book! He is to wild,I don't have enough time for him,My house isn't big enough for him, I didn't know how big he was going to get,I have to transfer for my job and cant take him with me,I just had a baby and I cant keep the dog anymore and one of the worst I got him for my child and now he doesn't want to take care of him -_- never buy a dog for a child and suspect them to take care of them. I think the truth is he isn't a cute little puppy anymore,no because he is now 6 months now I no longer want him. Then they either end up on craigslist or in the shelter and who knows how many homes they will go to in their lives.

 

I'm sorry but i would do anything to make sure all of my dogs would always be with me

If i had to transfer i would find a dog friendly place

if I had a baby I wouldn't just throw them away

 

sorry for the rant D;

----------------------------

 

other than the rant doesn't my bear look so cute ^_^

The reason I named him Brody Bear is because Berners are known to be the Little Bears of Switzerland and plus he looks just like a lil bear :}

 

So I have to buy him a smaller cage cuz he keeps pooping in there every time I put him in xD

Its kinda like payback cuz he hates the cage

hes so naughty that lil bugger lol but i love him never less ^_^
