PeTA KILLS!
Please - Spay/Neuter!
Each day 10,000 humans are born in the US - and each day 70,000 puppies and kittens are born. As long as these birth rates exist, there will never be enough homes for all the animals. As a result, every year 4 to 6 million animals are euthanized because there are no homes for them.

Dog Poem - “A Dog on a Euthanasia Table” (very very sad!!)
A DOG ON A EUTHANASIA TABLE
I’m trembling and so worried, for I know I misbehaved.
I chewed Dad’s brand new slippers and saw just how he raged.
I did not mean to wreck them, but my teeth were very sore,
and chewing them relieved the pain and made me feel less bored
And when mom came to smack me, I piddled on the floor,
For I had held my pee all day and could not get out the door.
They said that I was “wicked”, a menace at first glance,
and when they tied me up outside, I howled for one more chance.
Rolled over and sat pretty, and did all those tricks they loved
But they could not forget the wrong and said they had enough
So they took me to a clinic where the smell alone put fear
Into my trembling body, but my cries they did not hear.
For they turned and walked out through the door, without a hug or pat.
I wonder if they will forget, and forgive me, when they come back?
But why do I feel so frightened, as though they’ve gone for good.
They said they’d love me till I died, they really said they would.
I’m strapped onto a table and they’re shaving my front leg
I think I’m getting a needle now, I feel it in my vein…
And why do I feel so lonely? without them comforting me?
And why do I feel so sleepy?
Oh please God, let them forgive me..

Hi, Sweetie - thank you for visiting my blog and for commenting!
I did just want to mention that I did *NOT* write that poem - I am merely posting poems that other people have written, in case it may touch any of my visitor’s hearts!
(I don’t agree with putting a pet to sleep unless they are terminally ill and /or in a lot of pain and misery - and I think that what happened in this poem is one of the greatest tragedies that humans do to our beloved pets and best friends - it just breaks my heart into a million pieces).
I’m so sorry for your loss, Kristin Anne - I’m sure Snoopers was an amazing dog! (If you have a photo of him, please email it to me, along with a short bio to vitalistoo@gmail.com, and I will add him to our Memory Bridge section.)
Tragically, we had the same thing happen to one of our precious dogs, Tyson, a few years back - he was hit by a car in our front yard and died almost instantly in our arms - it’s the hardest thing in the world to watch, and to understand (and forgive).
On a lighter note, thank you again for coming by and for sharing your feelings with me and the world (we appreciate it!!) Please feel free to comment on any other posts, as well.
Be sure to check out my Photo Gallery where you can meet my 23 dogs and see pics of their birthday party and more!
Talk to you soon!!!
Warmly,
Michele

I Lost My Black Lab on December 26, 2007. As They Injected the Fatal Plus, I knew that this would be the last time I would ever see her again. I miss her to this day, but now have 7 babies. One of my 12 week old German sheperd/ Lab crosses Looks just like her and acts Like her. it’s quite amazing. I loved this Poem.
