Puppy Hood Home
by
Whitney Podhradsky
While growing up in my puppy hood home
You would play with me and give me a bone
You played fetch with me and called me Nelly.
You always had time to rub my belly
I loved to stay with you and keep you warm
And you always said you and I were a swarm
Now I’m here behind this cage
Wondering why you left me in rage
I didn’t know any better eating your hats
And I didn’t know I wasn’t supposed to harm the cats
You said I was bad and was out of control
I wouldn’t have done it if you had taken a toll
You gave me to the pound and you left me to die
You didn’t want to be embarrassed so you told a little lie
You were my one true friend and I held you to that
You told your kid to follow you and you didn’t look back
Now that you left and you and your family have gone
I am stuck in a cage and it’s a little past dawn
The worker comes to my cage and says you have one hour left to go
I think to myself have they come back to get their prize dog in show
An hour is up and they have not come back
The worker grabs me out of my cage and takes me to the back
She talks to me and makes me feel happy
I wonder why she seemed so unhappy
As I lay on the table she injects a cold fluid into my thy
As it enters my system I look up and whimper goodbye
And she cries and says as she looks into my eyes
I’m so sorry, but you wont have to worry about having bad lives
With the last ounce of energy I have I thump my tail
As she watches me take my last breath, she lets out a wail
I didn’t deserve to die I know like many that year
But you didn’t find me a home, someone wondrous and dear
And now I float with the angels and doves
I only wanted to be on earth and feel the love
I know you didn’t want me to stay in that place
But you couldn’t find time and you had no space
I was a big dog and I was a great companion
But to you I was nothing, not even a champion
Although you used to love me so
Now I'm gone and together well never know
I'm happy now because I'm in heaven
When I past I was seven
But I don’t have to worry about life
Because I’m happy here in this place of no strife
