The Breeder's Prayer

My precious little puppy, she makes my house a home

She is so loving, my best friend, I never feel alone.

 

She makes me smile,

She makes me laugh,

She fills my heart with love. 

 

Did some BREEDER breed her or did she fall from above?

I’ve never been a BREEDER, never seen life through their eyes,

I hold my little puppy and just sit and criticize.

I’ve never knew their anguish; I’ve never felt their pain,

The caring of their babies through conception, labor and pain

 

I’ve never sat the whole night through, waiting for babies to be born,

The stress, the trepidation, when they’re still not here by dawn.

 

I’ve never felt the heartache of a little one in my hands, this

Darling little baby, Who weighs but 60 grams.

 

Should you do this instead of that or that instead of this?

Alone you fight and hope one day, he’ll learn that he’ll be missed.

 

You pray that he’ll live to bring joy to another family and make a house a home. 

 

You know it’s all up just to you, You’ll fight this fight alone

 

Special formulas, bottles, heating pads, you’ve got to get this right,

Two- hour feedings for this tiny guy, throughout the day and night.

 

In your heart you know you’re almost sure to loose this epic fight, to save this

Little baby, but GOD willing,.you just MIGHT.

 

Day one, he’s in there fighting, you say a silent prayer.

Day two and three, he’s doing well, will lots of love and care.

 

Day four and five, he’s still ALIVE, your hopes soar to the HEAVENS.

 

Day six, he slips away again, dies in your hands day seven.

 

You take the LITTLE ANGEL” and bury him alone.

With aching heart and burning tears and an exhausted

Groan, you ask yourself

“Why do this?.....Why suffer all this PAIN?

 

But see the JOY your  puppies bring…it really self explains. 

 

So when you think of breeders and label them with “GREED”

 

Think about what they endure to fill another’s ‘NEED’.

When you BUY a puppy and with you precious dollars part,

You only pay with MONEY….we pay with a piece of our HEART..
