It is a very sad poem, but also a very timely reminder
to all those folks planning on a dog or cat as a Christmas
present for someone. Bringing an animal into someone's life
is a LIFE LONG commitment to the animal. Never ever give a
living creature as a "Present" unless you are totally sure it
will be loved & cared for for it's entire lifetime. If the "Present"
doesn't work out, what then? Another discarded pet. Please
think about it long and hard before you consider getting a
pet as a gift for someone else. Thanks. Liz & Moki.
