Rescued Pup 
Here I am all happy and cute,
They love me to pieces, think I'm a hoot!
I pee on the floor, they shove me outside
It's cold out here, there's a dog house...I'll hide.
They let me back in, with a pat on my head
They give me warm milk, and tuck me in bed
They get up in the morning, I've soiled the rug
They huff and they puff, and shoulders they shrug
They toss me outside, I cry cause it hurts
They mumble a bit, and say some bad words.
On and on, it goes over again
Then one day, I pee in the den
They say "that's it!", besides he's getting too big
Put him outside, they do, and I dig.
The next day a nice lady comes,and takes me away
She holds me close and whispers, "it's okay"
I go to a place, where there are pals everywhere
She cuddles me lots, I can tell that she cares.
This isn't so bad, and they feed me real good
They play with me lots, and teach me what I should!
At night I sleep in a crate, just me.
Wow!! I made it all night and no pee!!
The next day she brings me for a ride to a vet
We rush into a place, she smiles, our turn yet??
In a room, I get touched all over
She tells me my name should be "Red", maybe "Rover?"
I get a pick, and it will keep me healthy
The lady counts her money, she's not very wealthy.
We get back to her place for some food and a nap
I wake up and hear her talking to an old chap.
He says that one there, is he looking at me????
I'm so excited, I wiggle and pee
He picks me up and says "he's the one"
"I'll love him so much, he'll be my new son"
The lady cries as she kisses me goodbye
He says "I'll be back, but just to say Hi!!"

I wrote this, feeling what the pets feel, and what I go through day in and day out with rescue. Dammit it's hard sometimes, but the feeling in the end is so rewarding. Just thought I'd share a little piece of myself.
