Our Pets

Look at the girls tails a wagging
Greeting us at the door
Jumping up from the floor.

Eyes bright and alert.
Paw marks on a clean shirt.
Wanting to be close to you,
Closer than even our own skin;
If they could they would climb right in.

They ask for nothing except food
and affection.
In return they give us protection.

To them we are their world.
A pet will not abandon you,
So to them do not that do.
Please keep the contract that you made;
When a home was offered or money paid.

Giving you joy and pleasure, and their love without measure.

A pet is for all of their lives,

Until they meet their own demise.

Beautiful! so true that they give you so much more than they require. Always ready to come anywhere with you or fall in with your plans, always welcoming and never cross or sarky.

Literally all of my pets except a batch of 4 chickens and 6 ducks were ALL rescues in one way or another.

Wifey saved my pitbull from being killed at the shelter, she also saved our cat when he was a few weeks old underneath our old trailer. Kept meowing after his mom had abandoned him and he was wrapped up in wires so badly that his front paw was swollen to three times its original size and he would've surely perished were we not there to save his little devilish ass.

I save battery hens every chance I get, and all the other cats or animals I get seem to be in some threatening situation before they come to sanctuary.

"Please keep the contract that you made." - so sad especially when uncaring parents buy their kids a baby chick or a baby rabbit or something small, and then the pet gets thrown or let out to its death. God, do not show my wife this poem, Taylor. I won't get off the screen without having to adopt another 20 pigeons or some shit! ??

Pets give you unconditional love, particularly dogs. And they're always pleased to see you.
