A Senior Greyhounds Prayer

One by one, they pass by my crate, too old, too worn, too broken, no way.

Way past his time, he can’t run and play.

 Then they shake their heads slowly and go on their way.

A little old man, arthritic and sore, it seems I am not wanted anymore.

I once had a home, I once had a bed, a place that was warm, and where I was fed.

Now my muzzle is grey, and my eyes slowly fail.

Who wants a dog so old and so frail?

My family decided I didn’t belong, I got in their way, my attitude was wrong.

Whatever excuse they made in their head, can’t justify how they left me for dead.

Now I sit in this crate, where day after day, the younger dogs get adopted away.

When I had almost come to the end of my rope, you saw my face, and I finally had hope.

You saw thru the grey, and the legs bent with age, and felt I still had life beyond this crate.

You took me home, gave me food and a bed, and shared your own pillow with my poor tired head.

We snuggle and play, and you talk to me low, you love me so dearly, you want me to know.

I may have lived most of my life with another, but you outshine them with a love so much stronger.

And I promise to return all the love I can give, to you, my dear person, as long as I live.

I may be with you for a week, or for years, we will share many smiles, you will no doubt shed tears.

And when the time comes that God deems I must leave, I know you will cry and your heart, it will grieve.

And when I arrive at the Rainbow Bridge, all brand new

My thoughts and my heart will still be with you

And I will brag to all who will hear, of the person who made my last days so dear.

Living Color

Greyhounds come in 19 different primary colors and in over 55 different color combinations.

Feed Me!

Buy high quality, chicken based, premium dry dog kibble that lists meat as the first, second or at least the third ingredient.  Nutro, NutroMax, ProPlan, Science Diet, Kumpi, Eukanuba, PetsMart's Authority, Petco's PetGold and other premium dog kibble can be purchased at pet stores like Petco and PetsMart.  Do not feed grocery store brands such as Kibbles & Bits, etc.  Grocery store brands tend to be full of sugar, corn, and fillers that can cause a Greyhound to have constant diarrhea, gas, and weight gain.
