 "A Day In The Life Of A Stray



~A Poem- THE STRAY DOG

Dear God please send me somebody who'll care!
I'm tired of running, I'm sick with despair.
My body is aching, it's so racked with pain
And dear God I pray, as I sit in the rain.
That someone will love me and give me a home
A warm cozy bed and a big juicy bone.
My last owner tied me all day in the yard
Sometimes with no water and God that was hard!
So I chewed my leash and I ran away
To rummage in garbage and live as a stray.
But now I'm tired and hungry and cold
And I'm so afraid that I'll never grow old.
They've chased me with sticks hit me with stones
While I run the streets just looking for bones!
I'm not really bad God, please help if you can
For I have become just a "victim of man!"
I'm wormy dear God and I'm ridden with fleas
and all that I want is an owner to please!
If you find one for me God, I'll try to be good
I won't chew their shoes, and I'll do as I should.
I will love them, protect them and try to obey
When they tell me to sit, to lie down or to stay!
I don't think I'll make it too long on my own
Cause I'm getting so weak and I'm Oh so alone.
Each night as I sleep in the bushes I cry
Cause I'm so afraid God, that I'm gonna die!
I've got so much love and devotion to give
That I should be given a new chance to live.
So dear God please, please answer my prayer
and send me somebody who will really care.

I wanted to capture this picture to express so many emotions for you. I also wanted to raise awareness on Stray and rescue dogs. As a baby, Daisy was abused. She could have seriously been in this posistion. I rescued her when she was 5 months old. She was scared, and nervous around people. But....when our eyes met, I felt this indescribable feeling. I knew that I just had to have her, that we had something that will grow as we grow together. I'm glad I took her home that day, November 5th, 2005. Daisy is the greatest dog I could ever ask for. She is so much more then I expected. She has done nothing but bring the greatest amount of joy to my life. She is now a Canine Good Citizen, and a Therapy Dog. I'm going to be starting Rally Obedience with her soon. She truley is, my little guardian angel.

In the US- There are probably about 1-3 million stray dogs...
Everyday more are added to the life of a stray.
And everyday, more just can't fight for themselves no longer.
If considering to own a dog, Please read up on your research. Many strays and dogs in shelters, are there because their owners thought it would be "cool" to have a dog, but didn't know the responsibilities they come with. If you have done your research, and know you are ready. Please, don't buy from a petstore... or breeder. Go to a shelter, and adopt. They are the best dogs as far as personality goes... Save a life... be his hero."

,
By the way I figured out what it is about dogs. And the other pets. It is that they allow us to love them unconditionally.

Most humans will not let you love them unconditionally. There are all sorts of walls barriers and limits.

But a good dog a good cat a good horse a good pet, they will allow you to love them to the complete limit of your ability

Vehicles so fancy

At least

All Rapists Are Serial Rapists. 6 years ago....redux

We are grateful for all the work SANE SART nurses do for crime victims, and the work that law enforcement does to try and get criminals off the streets.
But many folks do not listen to radio, read papers, and talk of such things as rape.  --Sexual assault awareness is important. Risks are faced each day by many.
Imagine! every day, a significant portion of the population faces the risk of being deeply, deeply hurt by those of their own species!

One problem is that folks do not understand the type of person who rapes. Those who bully, who steal, to feel better about themselves.
 Read about this type of person (a seven part series) HERE and HERE.
We must constantly be on the lookout for this type of manipulator.

By WE i mean
primarily women--young women, older women, very old women, girls.
 Women who dress like nuns and
women who dress like joggers and women
who dress like me and women who dress like
your mother and your sister and your daughter.
Women who have had a beer, women who have had four beers, teetotalers,
 Women who have been Given a Drug to make them groggy and forgetful.
(Women who are virgins,
women who have children, women who are partenered or married or chaste or active,
women who trust and are kind to strangers.)

Also children--
very cute and precocious children,
well-trained children, mean disobedient children,
boy and girl children.


Every day i am aware of the Loss of Freedom We endure because we do not want to be Assaulted by Men of our Own Species. We do not want to be kidnapped or held down for a minute or an hour or a day.
We do not want diseases and cuts and bruises.
We do not want another person to belittle and hurt and taunt us,
 and
steal
inner things that belong to no one else but us.

We do not want anything rammed into our bodies anywhere.

Read Marge Piercy's amazing,
Rape Poem click HERE

So,
 my point.

We

do not film the sunrise and we do not paint the sunset.

We do not watch the birds on the lake at dusk.

WE do not look at the radically purple and red petunias glowing at the end of light when

the huge humming moths come.

We do not sleep with the windows open, the fresh Flint Hills air bringing hay scent and a horse's whinny, crickets, lavender into our dreamy sleep.

We do not hike alone.

We do not swim alone.

We do not wander the trails at Tuttle, writing poems and sketching the tall ripe grasses.

We do not leave our apartments for a study break at 2, like the Other Students do,

for a tasty pita sandwich in the 'ville.

To lower our risk we have given a lot.

Please

can we all gather to find something new?

And

no matter how much we give up to Lower Our Risk
We are assaulted anyway.
Can we talk about this?


(Someone always suggests that Perhaps
males must Stay In after 8 and are not allowed to Walk Alone during the day in secluded places. this suggestion provokes a group chuckle, then silence
as
the actual daydreamy thought of living
safe freedom in our own space and time--of living without fear--shocks us 
in its absence.
