If only I could speak..

I wish there was no language barrier so I could tell you that I really didn’t know my nails hurt you or that I was biting too hard. I am sorry my bark startled you, I just wanted to play. I cant say “food please” when I am hungry and so I had to follow you and tug you. Also, it was just this bad tummy bug that made me growl because it was hurting so much. If only I could tell you in words , “ It’s paining.”

I followed you through the gates because I couldn’t find my family and I was scared to be alone. I had just lost my sibling to another speeding car. I understand you can’t take each one of us in, your allergies could bother you or we make your family uncomfortable, that’s ok. I will find shelter in that old garage or maybe just this huge tree tonight and there should be food in the black bag you keep around, but please don’t shoo me away. 

I promise to guard and protect you until my last breath, I will even chase the mice and the giant lizard that scares you. I promise to let you know of stranger danger too, just let me be around. 

You can be mad at me, I will still snuggle up next to you. You can be your true self with me, I will never judge. If only I could speak , I would tell you all I need is for you to smile. I don’t demand fancy toys, expensive beds or royal meals, but can you just pet me a little or play? 

Please tell your two legged friends to not hate us, we mean no harm. It’s one pretty world if we coexist, you will see we need no words to communicate. 

I wag my tail and offer my paw to all your friends who feed us come rain or shine, some take us home too. Thankyou for being with us in sickness and in health. Thankyou for communicating on our behalf. 

A request from one kind soul to another, they have been working too hard but can’t always keep up, since we are so many. Please leave a message on this post if you can help in anyway too.

Love,

Four legged community..
