“I Adopted Your Dog Today”

I Adopted Your Dog Today

I adopted your dog today
The one you left at the pound
The one you had for nine years
and no longer wanted around.

I adopted your dog today
Do you know that he’s lost weight?
Do you know that he’s scared and confused
and has lost all faith?

I adopted your dog today
He had fleas and a cold
But don’t worry none
You’ve unburdened your load.

I adopted your dog today
Were you having a baby or moving away?
Did you suddenly develop allergies?
Or another reason he couldn’t stay?

I adopted your dog today
He doesn’t play or eat much
He’s very depressed now
But he will learn again to trust

I adopted your dog today
And here he will stay
He’s found his forever home
And a warm bed on which to lay.

I adopted your dog today
And I will give him all that he could need-
Patience, love, security and understanding.
Hopefully he will forget your selfish deed.
