    A Dog Sits Waiting

    You guys are going to hate me for sharing this. I saw this in the paper today and I am totally bawling. Maybe if I share it, it'll save a few more dogs.

    A Dog Sits Waiting

    A dog sits waiting in the cold
    autumn sun
    Too faithful to leave
    Too Frightened to run
    He's been there for days now
    With nothing to do
    But sit by the road just waiting
    for you
    He can't understand why you left
    him that day;
    He thought you were stopping to
    go with him to play.
    He's sure you'll come back
    And that's why he stays
    How long can he suffer; how
    many more days?
    His legs have grown weak; his
    throat parched and dry.
    He's sick now from hunger
    He falls, with a sigh.
    He lays down his head
    He closes his eyes.
    I wish you could see how a
    waiting dog dies.

    If it made you bawl, I'm not reading it right now since I'm at work! I'm so over touchy right now that I know I will totally lose it if and when I read it, maybe later, in the privacy of my own home!
