Life In a Pet shop

by BladeLigerRuler   Sep 26, 2005


I sit here alone in a big cage here
metal under my feet and a smell in the air
My friends all around me being sold one by one
my brothers and sisters have already gone...
Ive been here forever and still to this day my mother says youll get an owner some day
Something is wrong this just isnt right a german shepherd puppy should be bought in first sight...
what is the matter... is it the shape of my head.. are my feet to big is my tail to short.....I cant see the problem.. am i even here... what is the matter... what am i still here..... I have been here my whole life from my birth an so on im 4 months old...... i live in a pet shop yet to be bought.. but im so old its a hopeless thought..
I watch day by day people come into this shop but no one asks how much i am
im over 6 months who wants an older dunce
They walk right past the longing loving eyes to the cute newborn puppies now opening there eyes but nobody wants a one year old dog.... i might as well give up i fell like a frog
I try a new stragigy my mom says might work ill wag my tale at the first person i see....and maybe theyll smile and come look at me... but nobody wants a three year old puppy
i live in a pet shop im 5 years old the vet still comes to check up on me im healthy and young but homeless the same
Im a german shepherd without a name I live in a pet shop with a guy named shane..
I am house trained says the sign on my door but who wants a dog 8 years old
my mother i miss she died a year ago the tears keep on comming on empty heart love
I wait for an owner her words in my brain.. youll have an owner one day.....
im now 10 years old and i have to ask my puppy hood is gone my life is over and never once have i been called someones rover
My heart is now broken im feeling quite ill if i dont find a love im going to die right here..
The vet cant help me
my food i wont touch
Im skin and bones and my medicine is too much
they considered the injection but im way to tough..
Im not gonna eat till i have a love
My price has been lowerd to 9.95
I feel im dying the light comming close
if i give up now mother will be o so close
Im almost out my spirit is gone im 13 years old and no name and no home...
Im am unwanted no love is for me ill die an old dog unhappily
The store bells ring and a child stepped in he walked up to me with a look in his eye he payed the guy money and walked up to me...
Your my doggie now.. come home with me..
My eyes once filled with pain my spirit renewed i now have a home and i love i shal live!
His mom now walked in and took one look at me..
hey whats this a new carpet i see.. dear take him back his 13 years old hes gonna die soon it will break your heart....
Im now 20 yrs old with much life to give i live in a home with my new happy kid
