Here's a little short story (or poem) I've found of pet ownership. PLEASE READ! Make sure you're alone because for some, tears will flow down your cheeks as it is very emotional.

Don't let its seemingly long appearance deter you from reading it. It only takes a few minutes, but very worth it. Read every word! It's nice!

How Could You?
By Jim Willis,

 

What do you guys think? Good piece?

 

I just went and hugged my puppy. My last dog died in our home after livng with us for the full 16 years of her life.

 

Very good.

And they're supposed to be the "animals".

People suck.

 

Sad but true.

 

 

get over it, it's only a dog. plenty of people out their to worry about being homeless or starving without thinking about pets first.

 

Get over it?!!!! Our consciousness is what is supposed to separate us from instinct driven animals.

Crusoe...you are the representation of what our civility has dwindled down to. "Worry about me first, and all else last."

For the most part, adults humans have control over choices and situations. Pets unfortunately do not. They are fed when we feed them. They are loved when we attend to them. They cower when we scare them.

Those people you'd rather worry about, remember, they are where they are, for the most part, because they chose what they chose.

 

BTW, I copy and pasted that article into a Word doc and will be printed and posted onto my refrigerator.

 

Luder, don't get too worked up, I think he's just trolling, he only joined a few days ago. Whether you believe in the author's point of view or not, it was a very moving piece. Crusoe, try having some class if you're going to hang out here or don't expect anyone to take you seriuosly. Thanks for sharing purple_sky.
