I’ve been with my loving family for years, enjoying the comfort and security of knowing I’ll be fed, played with, and sleep in a warm bed each night. My familiar surroundings and the people I love help to diminish the aches and pains I’ve been feeling lately as I’ve been getting older. When my people have been stressed or sad, I love to comfort them with snuggles and sloppy wet kisses.
They take me places, and I don’t care where we go, so long as I’m with them. I hate it when they leave me behind, and I wait for what seems like forever until they return. I don’t jump on them anymore, my body won’t let me (and I know they never liked it), but I welcome them home with wiggles and sometimes I bring them a favorite toy to share with them when they walk through the door.

This morning we went for a ride in the car. I LOVE rides in the car!! They brought me to a new place, I’d never been here before! There are a lot of other dogs here and we each have our own cage. It must be a new place to stay for a night while my family is away somewhere they cannot take me. These dogs sure are loud and have a lot of energy. I’ll be happy to go home tomorrow.

That was the WORST night’s sleep ever. I am not used to sleeping on the floor. Beds, couches, laps- yep- that’s my way to sleep. I don’t mean to be grouchy, but I’ve had enough… It’s time to get picked up please.

So it’s been a few days. I’ve seen lots of these younger pups come and go. Where’s my family? I hope they’re ok. I think this is the longest I’ve been away from them. I just know they haven’t forgotten about me. I am a member of the family! I’m not sure why these people here keep telling me that they hope I find a home and family soon. They must be confused.

My heart is broken. My family clearly is not coming for me, it has been a couple of months. I thought they loved me. I thought I was important to them. They were my whole world. What did I do wrong?? Who will want an old dog like me, when all of these cute youngsters around me are my competition? I’m a good boy, I don’t make any trouble, and have so much love to give. Will some new family give me a chance?
