Please bring your pets inside! They deserve the warmth of your home, not the coldness of your heart!
My Blanket
Bad weather’s rolling in again
The chill is in the air,
Oh God please help my owners see
That I need extra care!
The last time that I went through this
I thought that I would die,
If no one sees that I need help
More frozen tears I’ll cry!
The ground is very cold and hard
With ice, my chain weighs more,
Why do they think I don’t deserve
To come in through their door?
The chimney smoke is what I smell
As I try to survive,
Do they not know that I exist
And want to stay alive?
I guess they have no love for me
I’m just a worthless pup,
If they don’t care about my life
I wish they’d give me up!
My body seems to ache a lot
All that I feel is pain,
I’m not sure why I fight to live
There’s nothing that I’ll gain!
The flurries are now coming down
It’s time for me to go,
Tonight sweet death will find me on
My blanket made of snow!

A heart wrenching reality for far too many worthy creatures. I admire your poetic expressions of advocacy.
