Dedicated to those that rescue: 
a look from the other side....


He woke with a start 
and could not figure out where he was. 
Why am I warm, why am I safe, 
why is the world suddenly soft? 
Oh yes, the lady that talks so sweet 
she rubs my ears and cooches my belly. 
I like it here 
I wonder if she'll send me back?


It is quiet but I can hear life about me 
it is a calm, safe feeling. 
One I have never known 
but have dreamt of. 
I have only been here a day 
I wonder if they'll let me stay?


Maybe if I'm good and sweet 
they won't put me on the street. 
I'm so confused 
the lady talks so nice all the time. 
I got my own dinner last night 
without a fight. 
I hear some noise 
I wonder if she'll send me back?


She is calling my name 
how sweet she sounds. 
I am here, right here 
waiting for my ear rub. 
Better wag my tail 
let her know I like her a lot. 
There she is, she is so soft 
I wonder if she'll let me stay?


Time to go out she says 
better not do it on the floor. 
Outside with all the others 
they seem happy here too. 
I hope she lets me stay.


Wow food again 
and all my own! 
She just rubbed my head 
and said 'what a good boy'. 
Me a good boy 
wow me a good boy! 
Oh that smile of hers I 
hope she lets me stay.


Looks like play time 
hey I can play too. 
She is laughing 
I remember that sound. 
They used to do that when 
I was little and they liked me. 
You know the other people 
then they just stopped laughing. 
Please don't make me go back.


She is on the phone 
thought I heard my name. 
She is looking at me 
she is smiling. 
Better get over there and 
get one of those ear rubs. 
She is talking about me. 
Please don't make me go back. 

Still talking about me. 
Wonder what she meant. 
She said 'looks like a keeper to me'. 
I hope she'll let me stay.


I was never allowed to give kisses 
wonder what she would do? 
Think I'll try. 
Oh my, she's got tears in her eyes! 
Oh what have I done? 
A big hug, maybe she'll let me stay.


She said I'm home now 
talks to me a lot, real nice. 
Wow, what a day and 
it's only just begun! 
Imagine having many days 
like this all together. 
Oh, please let me stay!


Thanks to all the rescues for all you do.
