Why didn't you train me? I can't train myself. Now I know no commands, I don't know how to walk on a leash, I don't know how to come when called, I don't know why I am here.
Why didn't you teach me to sit? No one wants a dog that jumps up on them. They think I am wild, but the truth is I just don't know any better.
Why didn't you teach me not to play bite? No one wants a biting dog. It was a great game when I was little, why doesn't anyone want to play now?
Why didn't you teach me not to bark constantly? No one wants a noisy dog. I just want attention, isn't that the way you taught me to get it. I bark, and you talk to me.
Why didn't you spay me? I didn't want to have dozens of puppies. Now I have ten mouths to feed, I'm only a pup myself. Was I supposed to walk myself to the vet and ask for an appiontment?
Why didn't you love me? That is all I ask for! I could have been your best friend, I would have given my life for yours if you would have just shown me a little love. I lived my life to please you, all I ask for is a little pat on the head.
Why did you feed me that cheap food? Now my bones aren't strong enough to handle much running. Sure it tasted good, but thats because it was coated with restaraunt grease. Why couln't you but good food that contained real meat for me? Wasn't I good enough for you?
Why didn't you try to work through the problems that you created. Why am I blamed for your mistakes, I couldn't control what you would and wouldn't do for me. Now I am sitting in a shelter, waiting for a special person to do all those things you didn't. |
