WHISPERING

I am the dog you see on the chain
I am the cat you see in the drain
I am the friend who has no home
I am the stray who lives all alone
I am the friend you helped today
I am the one you transported far away
I am the voice you hear in your head
I am the caged animal who often dreads
I am the opinion you are trying to change
I am the anger you feel, and the rage
I am the tears you cry when I am sick
I am the hurt you feel, but cannot fix
I am the voice in your head, when you cannot sleep
I am the reason for the long hours that you keep
I am the voice who desperately needs you
And if not you…then who?

I am whispering-- and you are my voice...

I RESCUED A HUMAN TODAY

(author unknown but appreciated)

Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering apprehensively into the kennels.  I felt her need instantly and knew I had to help her.  I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn't be afraid.
As she stopped at my kennel I blocked her view from a little accident I had in the back of my cage.  I didn't want her to know that I hadn't been walked today.  Sometimes the shelter keepers get too busy and I didn't want her to think poorly of them.
As she read my kennel card I hoped that she wouldn't feel sad about my past.  I only have the future to look forward to and want to make a difference in someone's life.
She got down on her knees and made little kissy sounds at me.  I shoved my shoulder and side of my head up against the bars to comfort her. Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate for companionship.
A tear fell down her cheek and I raised my paw to assure her that all would be well.  Soon my kennel door opened and her smile was so bright that I instantly jumped into her arms.  I would promise to keep her safe.  I would promise to always be by her side. I would promise to do everything I could to see that radiant smile and sparkle in her eyes.  I was so fortunate that she came down my corridor.  So many more are out there who haven't walked the corridors.  So many more to be saved.  At least I could save one.

I rescued a human today.
