PICTURE PERFECT PETS: SHARI'S PICK

A CAT'S PRAYER

Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep,
The King Size Bed Is Soft & Deep
I Sleep Right In The Center Groove,
My Human Can Hardly Move.

I've Trapped Her Legs, She's Tucked In Tight
And Here Is Where I Pass The Nite
No One Disturbs Me Or Dares Intrude.
Till Morning Comes And "I Want Food"

I Sneak Up Slowly To Begin
My Nibbles On My Human's Chin
She Wakes Up Quickly, I Have Sharp Teeth....
And My Claws I Will Unsheath

For The Mornings Here And It's Time To Play
I Always Seen To Get My Way
So Thank You Lord For Giving Me
This Human Person That I see...

The One Who Hugs Me And Holds Me Tight
And Sacrafices Her Bed At Nite!

NEW PUPPY OWNER

Don't smell crotches, don't eat plants.
Don't steal food or underpants.
Don't eat my socks, don't grab my hair.
Don't rip the stuffing from that chair!
Don't eat those peas! Don't touch that bush! Don't chew my shoes.
What Is that mush?
Eat your cookies. Drink your drink,
Outta the toilet! Outta the sink!
Away from the cat box, it's for the cat!
And MUST you kiss me after that?
Yes, raising a puppy, is not for the lazy!
Though puppies are funny, they're also quite crazy.
But don't despair, though its toil and strife.
After three years, you'll get back your life!
So, let's go for "walkies", you can "do your thing"
And perhaps I'll get back my good diamond ring!

BEFORE I WAS A DOG MOM

Before I was a Dog Mom:
I made and ate hot meals unmolested;
I had unstained, unfurred clothes;
I had quiet conversations on the phone,
even if the doorbell rang.

Before I was a Dog Mom:
I slept as late as I wanted and never worried about how late I got to bed...
or if I could get into my bed.

Before I was a Dog Mom:
I cleaned my house everyday,
I never tripped over toys, stuffies, chewies, or invited the neighbor's dog over to play.

Before I was a Dog Mom:
I didn't worry if my plants, cleansers, plastic bags, toilet paper, soap or deodorant were poisonous or dangerous.

Before I was a Dog Mom:
I had never been peed on, pooped on, drooled on, chewed on, or pinched by puppy teeth.

Before I was a Dog Mom:
I had complete control of my thoughts,
my body and my mind. I slept all night without sharing the covers
or pillow.

Before I was a Dog Mom:
I never looked into big, soulful eyes and cried.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop a hurt.
I never knew something so furry and four-legged could affect my heart so deeply.

Before I was a Dog Mom:
I had never held a sleeping puppy just because I couldn't put it down.
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was well.
I didn't know how warm it feels inside to feed a hungry puppy.
I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important.

Before I was a Dog Mom:
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment,
or the satisfaction of being...
A Dog Mom
