On Christmas Morning
I don't usually post forwarded email poems, but I really liked this one. Thanks Donna!
On Christmas Morning
I wish,
For every dog
searching trash cans for breakfast,
a filled bowl with his name printed in bright letters.
For every dog
who slept fitfully last night,
chained in a frozen yard,
a soft, warm bed
with a person snoring gently nearby.
For every shelter dog,
spending Christmas morning in an ugly, soiled run,
a forever home,
filled with sounds and smells of a loving family.
For every "Christmas" puppy
given today,
a tolerant, caring owner
who won't abandon you
as you grow into an adult dog.
For every ailing pet,
enough money for your owner
to pay the bills to make you well.
For every lost dog,
a clear, safe road,
and well marked path,
to lead you home.
For every old and tired friend,
a warm fire, and a soft bed,
to ease your aches and pains.
and
For every Heart Dog at Rainbow Bridge,
a moment when you know that you
are remembered today,
missed again,
and loved forever.

How appropriate as I came home Christmas evening to find the sad news that friends afar unexpectedly had to put their 6 year old lab/golden to sleep Christmas Eve. We had a good cry last night.
