A real shame

A Pet's Prayer

To you who fills my life with joy and in whom I have placed my trust.

I ask for but a few kindnesses. Count me as a member of the family, feeding me when I am hungry.

And giving me a warm and comfortable place to sleep.

Keep me safe from harm so I will have no cause of fear and tenderly care for me when I am sick.

Let me know by your voice and touch that you love me, for your love is what sustains me.

Find time to play with me and time to let me lie quietly by your side.

And when I grow old and my days are few, comfort me,treat me gently and humanely and please don't let me suffer loneliness, indignities or pain.

And when I have gone, think of me and of the friendship and happiness we have shared.

Do not be sad, smile at the memories.

And share with me the ultimate peace I have found in knowing and loving you.
