Quote Book ~ A Poem To Add To Your Book ~ I Rescued A Human Today

Today I'm sharing a poem for our "Quote Books".


                            I Rescued A Human Today

    Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor
peering apprehensively into the kennels.
I felt her need instantly and knew I had to help her.
I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn't be afraid.

As she stopped at my kennel I blocked her view from a little accident
I had in the back of my cage.
I didn't want her to know that I hadn't been walked today.
Sometimes the shelter keepers get too busy
and I didn't want her to think poorly of them.

As she read my kennel card,
I hoped that she wouldn't feel sad about my past.
I only have the future to look forward to
and want to make a difference in someone's life.

She got down on her knees and made little kissy sounds at me.
I shoved my shoulder and side of my head
up against the bars to comfort her.
Gentle fingertips caressed my neck;
she was desperate for companionship.

A tear fell down her cheek and I raised my paw
to assure her that all would be well.
Soon my kennel door opened and her smile was so bright
that I instantly jumped into her arms.

I would promise to keep her safe.
I would promise to always be by her side.
I would promise to do everything I could
to see that radiant smile and sparkle in her eyes.

I was so fortunate that she came down my corridor.
So many more are out there who haven't walked the corridors.
So many more to be saved.
At least I could save one.

I rescued a human today.  

 

 

I thought I would share this poem today because I just signed up to do volunteer work with a local rescue. I feel the need to help in some way. Anyway, don't forget to stop back again for more quotes or poems next week. Hope you enjoy this poem!  (Ps. I found this poem at scrapbook.com)

Quote Book ~ Quotes To Add To Your Book

I thought I would do the quotes today to add to your quote book...

~"Dogs come when they're called; Cats take a message and get back to you later."

~"Love is a four legged word."  

~"Any woman who thinks diamonds are a girl's best friend never had a dog."

~"If your dog thinks your the greatest, don't seek a second opinion."    

~"Cats leave paw prints on your heart."

I thought I would share some "dog/cat" type quotes today. Lately I've "liked" a bunch of pages on Facebook having to do with animal rescues. I think they are good causes...and feel like I could use some good Karma in my life. Also, My daughter is in Girl Scouts and we (hopefully) will be getting more involved with animal rescues soon. Anyway, don't forget to stop back again for more quotes next week...and I wanted to add...no idea who or where I got these quotes...I've been saving them to use for my scrapbook pages / cards. So enjoy the quotes!
