Whispering, why we do rescue

Basenji Rescue
  • Whispering

    I am the dog you see on the chain.
    I am the cat you see in the drain.

    I am the friend who has no home.
    I am the stray who lives all alone.

    I am the friend you helped today.
    I am the one you transported far away.

    I am the voice you hear in your head.
    I am the caged animal who often dreads.

    I am the opinion you are trying to change.
    I am the anger you feel, and the rage.

    I am the tears you cry when I am sick.
    I am the hurt you feel, but cannot fix.

    I am the voice in your head, when you cannot sleep.
    I am the reason for the long hours that you keep.

    I am the voice who desperately needs you,
    And if not you?then who?

    I am whispering
    and you are my voice.

    I sure wish I knew who wrote this.

  • How wonderful and so descriptive. I'm going to copy this one, if I may?

  • Yes, please. I just wish I knew who was talented enough to put how I feel into words.

  • Beautiful Sharron..I might borrow it too..

  • Please share it..if it opens one home to a dog in need, its done what the author intended.

    Reading the story in the first link, I didn't look at the others after that, literally made me nauseous. It's hard to imagine a person could do that to any living creature and I hate the fact that animal abuse laws have not been updated and therefore do not give out as harsh of punishments as they should.

    That's FABULOUS!!!! Getting any dog, but especially a basenji, to that level in agility is a big accomplishment.

    Yes, our 2 'pretty' cats are exactly that. They like to be touched when THEY like to be touched, cuddle when THEY want to cuddle and if it isn't on their time then you my as well forget they exist! They are beautiful cats and you just want to scoop them up and love on them but they hate it! Lol

    Imo, the difference between a nip and a bite is if the skin is broken and they draw blood. Puppies and some uneducated adult dogs nip…its not something anyone wants, but imo it can be corrected. A bite, a totally diffent issue and something that should be eval. on a case by case event.
