My name is Roxy, I was adopted from a home,
Mummy had a new baby, so she left me all alone.
My fur was all tangled & overgrown,
that I could barely see the ground.
Mummy said she loved me, I told her I loved her even more.
One day, she came home from the hospital, with a bundle in her arms.
She walked passed me without looking at me,
and I asked " Mummy what did I do wrong?"
Mummy dropped me off at the shelter,
She turned and never looked back.
I barked " Mummy, please don't leave me here, I promise I will be good.
"Come Roxy" I wished she had said,
But I was left there sitting all alone.
I was locked up in a cage, along with other doggies.
The concrete was so cold, I was shaking with fear.
While other doggies were barking, begging for a home,
I hid in my little corner, trying to fight my tears.
The humans can't see it, but I can cry too,
Like a real baby crying for his/her mummy,
She was all I had.
Luckily for me, my new mummy came quickly along.
She brought me home & showered me,
with lots of cuddles & kisses.
With a new haircut and many new toys,
I was a happy little dog.
My new mummy says, that I looked really sad sometimes,
staring into empty space.
I told her, I'm missing my old mummy and
wonders if she missed me too.
I love my new mummy and is grateful for giving me a new loving home.
Some of my friends are already in Doggy heaven,
but many are still waiting for a new home.
If you are looking for a new best friend,
please don't forget my doggy friends,
still waiting in cages at the animal home.
I promise you, they'll love you twice as much,
for giving them a new home.
" The cruelest thing you can ever do to your pet is not depriving them of their basic needs but to take away your love."
